“The apartment and office building, carefully detailed with a smooth render surface, occupies an exposed position on a corner road junction with a volumetrically complex yet well proportioned building volume. Large windows work in alternation with closed surfaces to develop a continuous strip running around the corners of the building and make the elevation readable. The wall sections of the window strip are embedded with enameled glass in the same colour as the render. The clouds are reflected in this glass surface and leave the facade of the building in a constant play with the changing weather conditions and daylight.
The ground and first floor plan are organized with a central staircase which dissolves according to the changing volume for the floors above. Both of the upper floors house an apartment, whose layout was developed in line with the requirements of a design collector. On the first floor of this top apartment are the living and bedrooms, and ascending a broad staircase to the upper floor, one finds the kitchen, library and two terraces. The positions of the design objects have been carefully developed, ensuring they stand in a balanced tension and at the same time create a dialogue with each other” text © Schneider & Schneider Architekten
