The architects’ task was to develop a harmonic and sculptural volume by exploiting the building regulations and applying them in a way that laymen wouldn’t recognize them as such. This process of exploiting and making invisible led to a complex structure which experiences a classic devision into three parts - a concrete base, two masoned middle floors and once again a concrete built attic floor. The volume should be as high as possible to make sure that the breathtaking view is ideally captured from the upper floors. A sculptural staircase connects the two middle floors, the attic floor and the additional roof terrace to a sequence of rooms.
The materialization is kept ‚brut‘ throughout the whole building. However, base and attic floor are insulated from inside to create a comfortable and cosy atmosphere. The masoned middle part is made of double layer brick walls with an in-between insulation. The mortar on the outside was deliberately not removed to lend the wall a textile expression and to make the craftsmanship visible. On the inside the mortar is removed but the walls remain without plaster and show there decorative quality. Elegant wood/metal windows are contrasting the raw brick with their fine design both in and outside. The combination creates an exquisite architectural expression which changes between being down-to-earth and extravagant. In summer the hinged windows and the hinged fabric blinds give the building a light and playful appearance.
