Haus K Dillingen an der Donau / Germany / 2023
Aesthetics and everyday living: A single-family home in Dillingen, Bavaria, shows how the two can go hand in hand.
Whether it's room cubature, wall colors, floor plans or garden design, a home of one's own, and above all the single-family house, offers builders the opportunity to make the home the focal point of their own personality. Whereas room layout and functionality used to follow socially standardized rules, today it is only building physics and the client's imagination that set limits. The house becomes a yoga retreat, a wellness oasis, an artist's studio, a music studio, or a company headquarters. Each member of the residential community is given the opportunity to develop individually and to retreat as needed. At the same time, the family togetherness is focused through communal zones. The kitchen and dining area regain their central importance as the heart of the home and are transformed from a functional work space into a world of experience for the family and circle of friends.
At the same time, areas of life such as work and leisure merge just as smoothly as the phases of life: from the functional single's living space to the cozy family nest to the barrier-free retirement home. Those who look to the future can anticipate future life situations and take them into account in the planning so that the home can be adapted with little effort to current requirements such as family growth, pandemic-related or voluntary home office or need for care. And this without losing its original aesthetics.
A private construction project in Dillingen, Bavaria, shows how such a project can succeed. Here, a single-family house in efficient monolithic brick construction was built in a near-natural location on the outskirts of the town. A clear design language helps the property to achieve an aesthetic that captivates through reduction and offers both body and mind space to develop.
