The design of the apartment building enters the beautiful environment of the Ore Mountains nature with respect. Traditional morphology and simple plan and material structure are interpreted in a contemporary architectural language. The basic volume, which exceeds the dimensions of the surrounding solitary buildings, is divided and softened by the use of notches in the mass and by means of loggias and large-format windows. A further reference to traditional architecture is the use of timber cladding on the façade of the building. Larch timber or burnt planks may be considered. In both cases, this is a very interesting aesthetic solution, as well as a solution with minimal maintenance and the ability to age naturally. The entire above-ground part is firmly based on a plinth made of natural stone, which gives the house a seriousness and again refers to the traditional materiality in this area. The house as a whole does not belie the period of its construction, yet it is integrated into the wider context and co-creates a strong urban and architectural coherence.
