DRA Einfamilienhaus
The house seems to fly. The Querkraft studio constructed a three- storey villa above a hill with a 25 degree incline on the city limits of Vienna. The building extends up to two thirds over the slope and creates a sheltered open-air space This is made possible by a two-storey construction of a steel space frame, which is anchored on the concrete lower storey and permits free floor plan layouts. The steel structure is encased in a skin of irregular, specially cut, polygonal aluminium sheets, whose splice-image does not suggest any conclusions about the design of the different levels or purpose of the rooms Interventions in the casing serve as windows for the residents, or they expose a view of the skeleton, for instance, on the south-facing balconies, which give a fabulous view over Vienna The loggias are integrated into the building by the surrounding fa?ade’s casing and they are not built onto the structure, as is so often the case While the outdoor area is therefore clearly separated from the external space, the transition from the balcony area to the internal part of the building is almost invisible, thanks to room-high windows The loggia floors made of trellis grids let a lot of light in and do not deprive the living areas of their lightness.
