l3p architekten forms trubel after an ascending vineyard stock

a modest but unique home designed by swiss practice l3p architekten sits proudly atop a vineyard in dielsdorf

given the mounded nature of the topography, the home is entered through a subterranean concrete garage level while the living spaces are situated in a glass mass taking up a footprint of 5m x 9m elevated above grade. spaces are organized in more of a vertical fashion- the concrete primary structure forms a series of platforms ascending in a spiral manner, each containing a specific function. bedrooms are located at the top, enjoying the greatest views and privacy.

the internal structure also plays a key role in defining the use of space by integrating fixtures into the design, so structure and function become one. the large panes of glass that wrap the building directly correspond to the volume of space inside. rooms enjoy a variety of dimensions and floor-to-ceiling heights depending on their specific use. each platform is also directly connected to one another as well as enjoys views of the exterior- a progression through the structure of the home offers a constantly changing landscape.
