This building, located on a slope in Salzburg, takes advantage of its hillside location to offer various altitudes and stunning views. The structure is compact, except for the covered forecourt on the ground floor. This area dominates the top floor, creating a valuable surface on the mountain. Large windows connect the interior to the outdoor spaces and are oriented towards the east, south, and west. The floor plan tapers towards the view, allowing for mountain scenery views from the rear rooms, even from the bathtub. None surfaces is hidden, but rather consciously shown in its raw beauty.
