Classical House Structure – Snail House by Atelier d.org
The house located on slope site in Reinhardsmunster with linking living space to the land, which extends onto its roof. Slopes are considered outstanding locations that allow thinking about housing differently: structuring, or re-structuring the so-called « classical » models are eased by allowing variations of the natural flat layout due to the slope.
To make the most of the slope, the layout of the proposed house is in between a dig in building and the rooms supported by the slope with half-stories to follow the slope.
This layout offers many advantages: respect of the original land, minimal earth-moving, multiple openings with centered views / multiple-oriented views, direct and multiple entrances to each storey (the roof is also fully used), small visual impact / volumetry, efficient natural thermal insulation / wind exposure.
