The prominent hillside setting above Lake Wörthsee sets the stage for this single-family home, whose design is consistently guided by a single premise: maximum orientation towards the water. Through the precise positioning of the building volumes, the lake becomes the defining element of the interior experience in every single room – from the daylight-flooded lower ground floor all the way up to the roof.

The sculptural base made of exposed concrete anchors the building into the steep slope, while the superimposed upper floor, featuring solid wood construction, creates a flowing connection between indoors and outdoors through generous, floor-to-ceiling glazing. The finely curated materiality – cool concrete, warm wood, and precise detailing – deliberately recedes into the background to allow the panoramic backdrop to take center stage. A highly energy-efficient retreat that integrates the tranquility of the lake into everyday living
