Oberen Berg House by Alexander Brenner

The house accessed via two-storey entrance hall, formed as a clear depth-layered picture. There are additional volume formed in white cubes, seen as an individual structure from close up, but merge as a unified whole from a distance. The
floor-to-ceiling glazing opens up onto the garden. One can look out over the pool in front of the house, and across the valley towards the hills opposite. The arrangement offers interplay of open and enclosed spaces stretching between transparent expanses of glass and protective walls. This layout satisfies both the occupants’ need for security and, on the other hand, for openness and a connection with the surrounding natural landscape.

If necessary, the house can be divided into units of varying sizes without major constructional work being required, thus offering its occupants maximum flexibility and permitting a suitable way of living for every lifestyle and family situation. This multi-generational villa is a new and sustainable reinterpretation of the old dream of a house that can grow and shrink within the same building shell.
