Designed by architecture studio, Fabi Architeken, this house is located in the crevices of a hill in Wenzenbach, Germany. The black top half of the building is shaped like a typical house with the angled/ triangular top and the bottom half of the house is white and shaped in a rectangular box style. The top half houses the kitchen, dining room and living room whilst the bottom half includes a bedroom and bathroom. Large windows and glass doors offer views over the natural landscape and hillside topography.
The main entrance is positioned on the side of the building and is sheltered by the overhanging first floor. The upper floor has glass doors that slide open and lead out to a triangular roof terrace whilst the level below provides a second entrance to the house - the levels are connect by a contemporary wooden staircase.
"A house like an archetype. As a prelude to the castle “Schönberg” (12th century) at the Wehrgraben – site of a former guard house. The house consists of two building volumes – one lying turned and cantilevered on a white flat roof box. A minimal intrusion into the hillside topography. The volumes open up targeted to the natural space, the forest." - From Fabi Architeken
