“We need more daylight in our home!” echoes in my mind as we approach Villa Föhrenblick. This charming Viennese Art Nouveau villa in Vienna’s 19th district underwent a stunning transformation. It is now a Sport & Chill paradise. The cottage quarter embraces historicism and Art Nouveau. Renowned architects once graced this area.
Villa Föhrenblick stands near the Türkschanzpark and the University of Agricultural Sciences. The owner, an Austrian heart surgeon Dr. Reitmeier, sought to enhance his family’s living space. He wanted to bring in more natural light. He aimed to optimize the building’s energy efficiency.
Spacious living areas define Villa Föhrenblick. Natural light floods the rooms. The location is perfect. Breathtaking views of Vienna and the hills surround the villa. Dr. Reitmeier’s project expanded the attic into a valuable habitat. This sensitive project required a smart roof window solution.
The villa’s roadside appearance remains largely unchanged. Inside, natural light abounds. The attic is the true highlight of Villa Föhrenblick. It’s a space for sports and relaxation.
Entering the attic, an expansive kitchen in the form of a ship grabs attention. The training area is next to a Jacuzzi and chill-out zone. A fireplace adds to the ambiance. FAKRO roof windows provide spaciousness and tranquility. Advanced insulation ensures energy efficiency. Even when temperatures soar, the attic stays cool thanks to automated external shading. The roof windows withstand extreme weather.
FAKRO’s sales manager, Markus Mertens, oversaw this unique project. He provided a special roof window solution. Three FAKRO flat roof windows were placed in the middle of the room. They provide optimal natural lighting and air circulation.
Dr. Reitmeier jokes that FAKRO windows deliver daylight without sweating unless you want to do sports. Even a small, dark storage room was transformed. Two FAKRO roof windows turned it into a bright sauna. Now, the family enjoys sauna time with a cherry tree view. The windows withstand sauna temperatures over 90°C.
A large Fixglas-made FAKRO roof window fulfilled the client’s desires. Another FAKRO roof window in the sauna creates a spacious feel. It makes the atmosphere more comfortable.
Villa Föhrenblick showcases how modern roof windows allow for individual styles. FAKRO satisfies the desires of customers and planners. They provide special solutions. The transformation of Villa Föhrenblick proves that with vision and innovation, any space can become a dream home.
