An out-of-the ordinary residential ensemble enhances the built environment in Weißenbach, a town located less than 20 kilometres southwest of Vienna. The clients, who were part of the interdisciplinary design team, were keenly alert to the existing conditions and counterposed the ubiquitous, run-of-the-mill homes with an open, ecologically minded form of dwelling. The team situated two L-shaped structures on a site with mature trees; in combination with the outdoor spaces – open courtyard, covered courtyard, roof terrace, green roof and garden – they create a versatile landscape for living.
