VIEW FROM
THE HILLSIDE

VILLA K — Hohenegg (A)

In an idyllic valley southeast of Graz, between traditional farms and smaller settlements, lies Villa K. The rural surroundings and the special location on the edge of a slope overlooking the valley were the starting point and inspiration for this home.

The house is designed in the style of a viewing platform: a cut in the slope forms a platform, a surface on which the house presents itself.

This platform is partially spanned by an ample, striking pitched roof, a modern interpretation of the traditional farm buildings of the surrounding area that defines the shape of the actual house.

The various functions of the villa are combined under this roof as individual freestanding volumes. The remaining areas of the platform provide space for pool, terraces, and gardens. All rooms have direct access to the terrace areas surrounding the house or have their own terrace.

This ensemble is characterized by lightness, openness, a smooth transition from inside to outside, the magnificent views and idyllic surroundings, but also traditional elements and references.

The construction is solid with a steel/wood roof structure. The roof was covered with wood.
