House of Georg Spreng by C18 Architects

House of Georg Spreng Designer: C18 Architects
Location: Wissgoldingen, Southern Germany
Image Credits: Brigida Gonzalez Here – on a southwest slope – C18 Architects built a residential house with a studio for the jewellery designer Georg Spreng and his family. Towards the street the building is closed; it attracts attention with its cladding of white square tiles. The buildings cubic shape also distinguishes it from its neighbours. Even if the house is closed towards the street, it doesn’t close itself to the neighbours. A tower room with a window facing the street positions the building in the neighbourhood. No fence hinders visitors from entering the premises and looking over a wall onto a pond in an open atrium and into the living area. At this point two entrances lay symmetrically to each side. They both have red emergency shutdown buttons as bell buttons. From this standing point one can already notice a considerable lot about this house; the way it entangles inside and outside and that it is a special house. → yatzer.com Posted: 01/15/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
