In a new housing area at the south eastern outskirts of Erfurt we designed a single family house with a clear cut floor plan, optimized spaces, an open plan concept and an effective arrangement. The main feature is an air space above the dining area with an adjacent stair case.

Due to the client´s openness to identifiy with modern architecural language, the light and minimalistic building stands in a positive contrast to its immediate surroundings. Large window openings are covered with a fine lined steel structure with wooden panels serving as sun shades, pergolas and as mediators between inside and outside.

The house was honoured with the Thuringian 1999 Award of Architecture.
