SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE IN VILLACH

Privacy outwards and openness inwards were important aspects the family wanted to incorporate in their new home. The architect designed the building as an L-shaped angle that encloses the garden and creates the privacy they wanted. A two-storey Atrium forms the centre in the interior of the house around which all the rooms are arranged. It links the ground floor with the upper floor as well as the interior with the exterior. The facade of the Atrium overlooking the garden is fully glazed and the living room can be opened out onto the front terrace in the summer. The choice of materials used for the interior is based on a colour scheme of earthy tones. Because of its golden hue and the natural surface of the parquet, the floor from Bauwerk fits in beautifully with this colour scheme. «Due to the natural wooden floor, we were able to continue the theme with the wooden facade cladding, thereby creating a bridge between the exterior and interior», explains the architect with regard to the choice of the flooring. «The parquet is produced in Switzerland. It was very important for us to use high-quality flooring. As doctors we could not be responsible for the fact that we would willingly expose ourselves and our children to unhealthy air and so many different chemicals», the owner explains his choice in a nutshell.
