House H
Wiesbaden, GER
The single-family home H is characterised by the dynamic interplay between the upper floor and the ground floor. Separated by a glass band, the upper floor, with its smooth, reflecting ceramic tiles, is physically suspended over the ground floor with its broken, matt natural stone.
This natural stone wall encompasses the ground floor and the patio like a screen. All the areas are flooded with light due to the glass band, without permitting those outside to look into the interior. The natural stone wall only opens up on the garden side, providing a view of a valley laced with green.
The large living space, which extends over two floors, separates the parents’ from the children’s areas on the upper floor. The two areas are connected by a bridge, and can be accessed via a spiral staircase.
