A multigenerational home. That’s Haus Winkler. Nestled not in Frohnau but on a small plot near Schlachtensee. This remarkable structure. Haus Winkler is a testament to innovative design and sustainable building practices.
Haus Winkler stands as a beacon of architectural ingenuity. It’s a multigenerational home. Its designers cleverly removed interior load-bearing elements. This allowed for flexible floor plans. The supporting structure is primarily the outer shell. A clever approach. This allowed the building to adapt. It adapts to the evolving needs of a multigenerational family.
Imagine a space of 13.5 meters by 13.5 meters. That’s the footprint of Haus Winkler. Excluding the garage. Corner windows dominate. They frame views of densely packed old villas. A rooftop terrace offers lake vistas.
Haus Winkler’s shell is unique. It’s double-shelled concrete. The concrete includes a high percentage of recycled aggregates. The insulation is foamed recycled glass. Sustainable and resourceful. The house integrates seamlessly into its surroundings. Recesses and a small folded roof fit its design. They fit the dimensions and style of nearby buildings.
The building’s sustainability extends beyond its materials. Its flexible floor plans are easily adaptable. The robust construction clearly separates the shell from the interior finish. A low-temperature ceiling heating system makes use of renewable energy. It provides both heating and cooling. Haus Winkler isn’t just a home. It’s a model of environmentally conscious design. It’s a beautiful example of how we can build for the future.
Haus Winkler is more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a story of adaptation. It’s a story of sustainability. It’s a story of smart design. A testament to thoughtful architecture. A home for generations.
