Haus im Obstgarten, a minimalist timber tower in the Austrian countryside, is a contemporary family home among traditional farmhouses
Offering a contemporary take on the traditional Austrian farmhouses of the region, Haus im Obstgarten is the brainchild of local studio Firm Architekten. The beautifully poised house – a small, minimalist timber tower – sits on a slope in the village of Frastanz-Gampelün, on a plot owned by the client and their family for decades. The new structure replaces an old stable building nestled on a hillside between two farmhouses.
‘The clients’ great-grandparents built the neighbouring farmhouse from their own wood and then reforested the forests,’ say the architects. ‘The great-granddaughter was able to build her own home now from this wood. In this tradition, the forests have been reforested with 750 young trees for future generations.’
Inside, uncluttered interiors in light, natural spruce are pleasingly contrasted by white clay plastered ceilings and a black steel on the staircase. The use of these different materials serves to further highlight the wood that underpins everything in this project, from its architecture, to its conceptual connection to the client’s family history. §
