REINTERPRETATION OF THE ALLGAEU HOUSE
For the house, the sloping hillside location to the east required a design that would incorporate the western sun, and open up the panoramic view that would be blocked by the adjacent houses below.
To preserve the view of the distinctive pyramid-shaped Säuling, the Ammergau Alps and Zugspitze, the house was pushed to the front edge of the lot and “tilts” down with the extremely sloping terrain. The uses normally found on the second floor were moved up the slope, so that the living and terrace areas moved upward.
