ON THE BOARDS
innocad and superunique
Graz, Austria
Carefully sited on a hilltopto afford both basin and mountain vistas, the 3,000-square-foot family home will be composed of four interconnected volumes, each with their own resident or function: parents, children, guest, and gathering, the latter the project’s central component. The floating “boxes,” their rough-sawn wooden board formwork giving the concrete facades an organic texture, will be glazed at either end, seamlessly blending interior and exterior, artificial and natural. The infinity pool, conceived as a detached fifth structure, echoes the other structures. Completion is slated for 2024.
INNOCAD: MARTIN LESJAK; JÖRG KINDERMANN; PATRICK HANDLER; GIULIA GELMETTI; ELISABETH KRAMMER. SUPERUNIQUE: PETER GAISRUCKER; ARMIN PETZWINKLER.
