Bauhaus villa on a hillside

This cubic detached house on a slope looks like a classic flat-roofed bungalow from the street side, but turns out to be a modern, two-storey Bauhaus villa with timber cladding, a spacious balcony, and covered terrace with panoramic views of the nearby Taunus mountains from the garden.

This masterpiece offers the owners, a family of six a total of around 320 square metres of comfortable free living: from the large hallway on the ground floor, the view through the open-plan living area,  floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding balcony doors extends into the greenery of the surrounding hilly landscape. The ground floor is complemented by a study, a guest WC with shower, a children's room and the master bedroom with adjoining dressing room and en-suite bathroom.

A light well in the stairwell and large, floor-to-ceiling windows facing south-east also provide plenty of natural light in the basement. In addition to the traditional cellar room, there is a hobby room, utility room, additional bathroom and three further children's rooms - each with their own access to the terrace - completeing the room layout for the whole family.

In the ‘Family Home | House of the Year 2024’ competition, this design received the silver award in the ‘Family Home’ category.
