green courtyard

The focal idea behind  DI Bernardo Bader's concept is the valuable 'indoor environment quality' achieved by the inner garden courtyard which is hidden from outside views. The site measuring 500 sqm, is located at the outskirts of the village Sulz, Austria. It lies between existing development and the agricultural green belt and girded by highly frequented paths leading to the recreational area in the close neighborhood. The house is arranged on two floors; the ground floor contains the kitchen, dining, living room, secondary rooms and the garage. Meanwhile the first floor are all rooms. The terrace encloses the greened patio in whose centre a tree grows through the open roof.
