a hillside home in suburban stuttgart designed by j. mayer h. architects seeks to maximize views of a nearby valley with a composition of filleted corners and sweeping curves, while also breaking with the gridded residential area replete with stock 1960’s housing developments. a deep, recessed balcony characterizes the sinuous concrete form and protects the home from solar heat gain thereby continuing an environmentally friendly building system that includes weathered zinc and solar panels.
