The house is located in a hilly moraine landscape east of Munich on the edge of a village. South and west, the view opens to the landscape through scattered farms, the village is situated north-east of the property. We decided to create a semi-public access area, which is bordered by the house and carport. The garden area is on the one hand hidden from the street, on the other hand it opens at the same time towards the countryside to the south and west. The house responds in the same way on this situation by orientating the 60m² large façade opening to the south-west. You enter the house through a niche in the façade, from which already falls the view through the house into the garden and the private sector.
