Residential House Ab, 1190 Vienna

Modern glass-and-steel house on a hillside beside a rectangular pool, with outdoor seating on a deck, surrounded by vineyards and a distant hill under a blue sky.

With the ambition to create a breathtaking view of the fantastic Nussdorf vineyards, Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten ZT GmbH designed a glass house with great attention to detail. This resulted in all of the tall plantings in the garden being placed in the rear slope area and in the front area creating a lush embankment that contrasts and underlines the clear architecture of the building in its wild beauty.
Generous swings of beeblossoms, lavender, verbena and rosemary willows adorn the garden, in which an infinity pool made of exposed concrete presents itself. The entrance to the underground car park looks very clean. A single red-leaved maple tree and a ceramic vessel from Atelier Vierkant accentuate the area that otherwise only consists of a sea of plantain lilies.
