House Haller by Jürgen Haller Architects

The single family house sited at the foot of the Alps mountain, Austria. Designed by  Jürgen Haller Architects, the concept is combine both of living and working areas under one roof. The building profits from the optimal use of the mountain sunshine.

Description from Jürgen Haller
“The entrance area is generous and includes a guests’ cloakroom. It is also possible to enter the house or the office from the double garage. The central staircase divides the ground floor into a living area and a kitchen/eating area. The bedrooms and an extra bathroom for guests are situated on the first floor. The owner’s bathroom has a separate terrace, which is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the magnificent views. The ridge and pitch of the roof give each first floor room an individual character.

The internal walls and ceilings are covered with local silver fir wood, which gives the rooms a cosy feeling despite the large glass windows. The outside façade and the roof have been finished with local silver fir shingles. Here we can see how the architect as made use of a single material, testing its possibilities and confinements. What was once considered confined to traditional buildings appears here as experimental.” More information please visit Jürgen Haller Architects website
