Haus GOE - Verantwortungsvoller Stadtbaustein

Set on a prominent corner within a Cologne block, this new home replaces a post-war building from the Adenauer era. It carefully picks up the lines and rhythms of its surroundings, yet expresses its own identity through warm materials and restrained detailing. Inspired by Japanese spatial ideas, the flexible layout features tactile surfaces like clinker brick, wood, and lime plaster. Sliding doors allow gentle zoning, while a mature magnolia shapes the patio atmosphere. Built with a low-tech, sustainable mindset, the house offers calm, light-filled spaces within the vibrant fabric of the city.
