在奥地利西部风景如画的布雷根泽瓦尔德谷地、村中心外一个非常陡峭的小山丘上，一条安静的道路上建造了一栋房子，这项任务是为这个陡峭、裸露的地方设计一栋新建筑，以前只用于放羊。这栋建筑既要简洁又要突出建筑最好的特点，使其具有强烈的说服力。另一个挑战是未来的业主要求一个私人室外空间。
In the picturesque Bregenzerwald valley in Western Austria, on a very steep hill outside the village center, on a quiet road where several homes of varying size . The assignment was to come up with a new building for this steep, exposed place, only used to herd goats before. A building that would be convincing in its noble simplicity while highlighting the best characteristics of the lot. An additional challenge was the future owner’s request for a private outdoor space.
前门式建筑，其屋脊与山脊平行，类似于该地区的传统农舍，最自然地融入了风景。这个入口不能被立刻辨认出来，这使得这栋房子显得有些难以接近和更隐秘。从公路进入的通道位于较低的水平，只有在第二看，混凝土覆盖的切口进入山可以确定为入口。在房子里面，有几个楼梯从双车库通向山上。一楼是卧室，每间都有一个朝南的露台。在这里，这座建筑首次向周围的景观开放。
The front-gabled building, its roof ridge parallel to the hill, resembles the traditional farm buildings of the region, blending in with the landscape most naturally. The entrance is not recognizable as such immediately, making the house seem somewhat unapproachable and more private. The access from the road is situated at a lower level and only at second sight, the concrete-covered cut into the hill can be identified as the entrance. Inside the house, several stairs lead from the double garage up the hill. On the first floor are the bedrooms, each of them with a terrace to the south. Here, the building opens up to the surrounding landscapes for the first time.
楼上是几层楼高的起居区，其核心是楼梯，楼梯上还设有卫生间和储藏室。在这个裸露的混凝土的实心核心周围是生活和餐饮区，明亮和开放的所有方式的山脊。最外面的外壳由一个覆盖着屋顶的平台组成，允许从房子的内部到它的自然环境的平稳过渡。一个立式和卧式云杉筛面，将房间高的玻璃或喷粉石膏表面包围在里面，给建筑一个均匀的外观。这样，我们创造了广泛的半透明性和透明度，我们逐渐和单独地适应每一个房间，其目的和所期望的亲密程度，防止不必要的洞察，同时使美丽的世界观成为日常生活和生活的一部分。
On the upper floor is the living area consisting of several layers or shells; at its core, the staircase which also houses a toilet and storage room. Around this solid core of exposed concrete is the living and dining area, bright and open all the way up to the ridge. The outermost shell consists of a covered terrace running all around the house, allowing for a smooth transition from the inside of the house to its natural surroundings. A screen fa?ade of vertical and horizontal spruce slats, enclosing the room-high glass or spray plaster surfaces on the inside, gives the building a homogenous look. This way we created a wide spectrum of translucence and transparency which we gradually and individually adapted to each room, its purpose and the level of desired intimacy, preventing unwanted insights while making beautiful outlooks part of everyday life and living.
