Haus JES

The two-story gabled house combines living and working, offering a contemporary take on the regional barn typology. A sheltered patio courtyard ensures privacy and high outdoor quality despite the south-facing street orientation. Pure, recyclable materials like exposed concrete, natural rubber flooring, and local wooden windows were used. The charred wood facade, following the Shou Sugi Ban method, provides protection and references local architecture. Climate-resilient planting and minimal surface sealing support biodiversity. A PV system with a heat pump achieves 60–70% energy self-sufficiency.
