Sustainable Luxury Home With Stunning Natural Ambiance

This house is designed from the ground up as a sustainable building. This naturally means, first and foremost, that it is designed as a passive house. However, it is not just the performance indicators that are decisive; the focus here is on the people who can thrive in a comfortable and healthy environment.

The property is characterized by a carefully coordinated interplay of form, orientation, and window area. The result is spacious, light-filled rooms with high ceilings throughout. Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the impressive ambiance: the gallery on the upper floor opens onto the entrance area, which is separated from the living room by a large, elegant steel and glass wall. The effect of the space must be experienced firsthand.

All living spaces feature clay plaster. Combined with controlled ventilation with enthalpy exchange, this ensures fresh, pleasant air year-round, even after waking up in winter with the windows closed. Consequently, all wooden floors are oiled and the walls are painted exclusively with natural paints. The bedroom even boasts untreated clay plaster, lending the room a truly unique atmosphere.

Where it makes sense, particularly in the open gallery, wooden parquet flooring has been installed. The remaining floor areas feature carefully selected tiles that combine aesthetics and timeless elegance. The Bulthaup kitchen, perfectly integrated into the building, underscores the highest standards of materials and design. The sauna in the upstairs bathroom adds a special touch.

The concept for energy, hot water, and heating is groundbreaking. A large modern stratified storage tank with water in the utility room forms the heart of the system. Hot water is freshly generated here via a heat exchanger in the tank. Heating is provided by an efficient air-to-water heat pump that can also draw its electricity from the photovoltaic system; a battery storage system further optimizes self-sufficiency. The special feature of this system; however; is the beautiful wood-burning stove in the living room: it is water-bearing and capable of supplying the entire house with hot water and heat even without this heat pump.

The property is complemented by a spacious green plot of land accessible from living room via south-facing terrace. In addition to a garage,a small historic building has been lovingly integrated as workshop. The surroundings are characterized by tranquility,nature,and greenery.

The owner is trained architect with special focus on sustainability; she designed house for her own use lived there for several years. A move abroad now makes it possible to purchase this property.
