Single-Family House in Dalaas
Situated on a steeply sloping site in Vorarlberg, Austria, this single-family house, with its monolithic volume and uncomplicated formal language, makes reference to the simple timber huts in the area. On the other hand, the black facade, consisting of composite resin sheeting, and the absence of any roof projections clearly distinguish the house from the conventional surrounding structures. As one finds in many buildings in the region, the entrance is recessed in a loggia. This serves as a draught-excluding space and also avoids giving visual prominence to the garage gate.
