austrian studio bernardo bader has completed 'haus im feld', a country home located
on the outskirts of sulz in austria. situated in a transitional area of cultivation for an
agricultural greenbelt, the single family dwelling sits surrounded by heavily trafficked
paths that lead visitors to the nearby frutz river.



front facade


the structure, composed of austere lines and a delicately uneven gable roof is neutral in
form with its visual force lying in the bold but simplistic arrangement of vertically applied
wooden slats. transparent and impermeable surfaces clad the unit, slightly exposing light
and activity which happen within the dwelling.



side elevations


designed as a closed and inaccessible volume, the house features a simple four-winged
plan that encircles and forms a private courtyard. extending the full height of the home,
the internal void cuts through the roof, fully integrating interior and exterior environments.
inside, homogeneous spaces treated in light wood create warm and minimal environments
which appear to seamlessly flow in from the garden.
