Haus Blick nestles along the sloping terrain above Hinterbrühl and opens generously to the surrounding landscape. Upon entering, one immediately senses how light, space, and nature blend together: the living areas unfold toward the garden and the landscape through expansive window surfaces, allowing interior and exterior to flow seamlessly into one another.

On the lowest level are the entrance, two covered parking spaces, the garage, a guest room, and the building services and utility room. Above this lie the bedrooms and private retreat areas, embedded in the hillside with maximum privacy. The master bedroom features a spacious terrace with a breathtaking view of the forests of Hinterbrühl.

A single-flight staircase connects the lowest to the highest level, passing the bedrooms and following the slope along a glazed strip. Parallel to it runs the external staircase—separated only by glazing—gently following the hillside and allowing garden and interior to merge across all floors. It connects all levels of the house directly from the main living areas, where cooking, dining, and living transition fluidly into one another. For future barrier-free access, an elevator shaft with all necessary connections has already been prepared and is currently used as additional storage space on each floor.

The main living level opens both toward the valley and the hillside, offering generous terraces on both sides. The suspended, round open fireplace forms a striking focal point in the living area and marks the transition between the kitchen and dining zone and the living space, which—through terrace glazing and shed roof lights—allows views to immerse directly into the hillside pine forest. On the hillside, the sheltered terrace connects directly to the south-facing infinity pool, from which a magnificent view of the surrounding hills and landscape unfolds. The terraces expand the living spaces outdoors and invite lingering while keeping the natural surroundings ever-present.

Materials such as exposed concrete, terrazzo, polished concrete, and a warm brown-beige aluminum façade lend the house a sense of calm and clarity. Nearly every part of the building maintains a close relationship to the landscape: light and views shape daily life, and the house appears as a natural extension of the hillside.
