House in Lower Austria is conceived as a clearly structured volume with a gabled roof that reinterprets traditional typologies. The design follows a tripartite order: a set-back lower ground floor level with garage and service spaces; above it, an open living floor with direct connection to the garden; and a private zone with bedrooms and an atrium. Stepping and slight shifting of the mass form a sheltered entrance, while a central light court marks the heart of the house and draws daylight deep into the interior.
The generous living area opens with floor-to-ceiling glazing to the terrace and pool, so everyday life naturally extends outdoors. Inside and outside merge into a continuous whole that frames long views of the surrounding landscape. The atrium provides a protected retreat and, at the same time, ensures cross-ventilation and a pleasant microclimate. The private rooms – main bedroom, guest room, and hobby area – are likewise oriented toward the garden and connected by short, legible routes.
A pared-back material palette of timber and neutral finishes lends the interiors a warm, timeless atmosphere. Carefully placed openings articulate the volume and balance openness with a sense of shelter. Detailing is precise and restrained, allowing the gabled form to remain clear and calm. The result is a house that is elemental in its language yet modern in its spatial organization—a quiet place that brings together landscape, light, and architecture.
