Bringing together vernacular design with contemporary aesthetics and comfort often leads to homes that are unique, smart and respond well to local conditions. Designed by Bernardo Bader Architekten, Haus am Moor is one such amazing residence where simplicity and rural Austrian charm are intertwined with smart modernity. The house on the outside has a silhouette that borrows from local farmhouses and its rectangular base along with gabled roofs ensures that it feels like any other large building in this part of Austria. But on the inside, one sees contemporary vibe taking over with it even feeling minimal at times.

Rectangular base and gabled roof creates a picture-perfect home in Austria

It is the gabled roof of the house that shapes the large and well-lit central living area on the lower level that also holds the kitchen and the dining. Locally sourced wood along with concrete has been used to create this eco-friendly house and it is the wooden elements that add warmth to an otherwise stoic building. Form and functionality go hand-in-hand in here with the upper levels of the house holding the bedrooms, home office and other private space. Cleverly placed windows and skylights usher in a flood of natural light while warm artificial lighting takes over after sunset.

Lighthus

Take a journey to the woods and trek through the forest. For every step you take, listen. A far cry from the city, the suburb- the familiar. Not there, but here. Be present. The house is a not a house. Nor are you, you. Here, it is different. The grazing of light gently paints the surfaces of the atrium. The windows are open fully; no, rather, nature, in all its sublime invites itself into the traveler’s abode, filtering the morning light – its rays carrying forth the scent of the pine forest beyond. Your coffee isn’t the same anymore. The slow drip of time are now ever evident, the light, pronounced. Your movements occupy the passage of time. Cooking around the kitchen island elevates an appreciation for nature’s bounty. As there is slow food, there is slow space, slowness, silence. The house weaves through the forest. Nature shapes the house, the house shapes light, and the light shapes us.
