A House Nestled Between a Sunflower Field and an Apple Orchard

ByMyProperty Life

A landscaped hill covering the basement floor offers a lush extended garden that blends with the surrounding landscape. Anchoring the lower volume into the terrain, the internal entertainment spaces and the garden, pool, and existing trees outside develop a natural synergy. The intention of the vegetated base is to minimize the appearance of the three stories of the Kronbühl residence, offering a considerate gesture to the neighboring context.

In contrast to the natural base, the middle level, finished in bush-hammered concrete, features open voids for living spaces. To achieve maximum transparency without hindering the view of the lake, the window panels slide into a concealed pocket within one of the concrete volumes, framing the various views of the lake and the fields.

The upper wooden volume takes its triangular shape from the three main views of the house – the lake, the sunflower field, and the apple orchard. The triangular form cantilevers above the concrete volumes, with the master bedroom and its corner window facing the magical sunset of Lake Constance.

The wooden slats that wrap around the facade respect and enhance the natural conditions of the site, including views, sun protection, and privacy. The Kronbühl Residence has a distinct identity relative to the surrounding houses. A varied and dynamic mix of forms, this complex grouping generates a fascinating presence that is quiet yet confident within its neighborhood.

  • Space in the Wall

    Space in the Wall The thought process regarding the challenging tall and narrow structure centers around a space that flows through the building and functions as a light cone that allows daylight to pierce through all the way to the basement and a joint wall, made of exposed concrete in “board” configuration, divided into squares, separated from the exterior wall of the house, which is made of glass, and acts as an artistic, somewhat “Brutalistic” element the house, one half of a two-family dwelling on a 220 square meters lot, and 360 square meters built, is designed for 2 young families with 2 children each, each family has 2 floors, the first family has the ground floor (living room, kitchen, dining room and garden) and basement (bedrooms and pool). The second family has the first floor (bedrooms) and the top floor (living room, dining room and a garden balcony)
    The front of the building that faces the street is made with a combination of concrete, steel and wood. We’ve used these natural materials throughout the building. Stairs and banister from steel plates on the ground floor and a banister and counter-top with a sink out of steel grid on the first floor.
    the flooring is out of concrete, with the concrete wall “accompanying” the entire house. Wood beams in the kitchen, the ceiling, a vertical shading and the floor.
    The challenge to create a living space while using every available inch and maintaining privacy, while communicating with the residents who are design enthusiasts was completed with 2 modern villas, each with its own connection to the outside and with a unique and fashionable living space in the dense urban surrounding.
