This unique summer house built in Southern Burgenland, Austria and designed by Vienna based Judith Benzer Architektur to fit into its countryside surroundings, with a classic house shape and a traditional material taken to the next level.
totaly clad in wood from the tip of its roof right down onto the ground, the unique summer house evokes a sense of serenity that is only possible through nature. On further exploration, it’s clear that timber plays a more central role than just that of the exterior.
The indoors are dressed in this natural honey toned material while maintaining a sense of modernity through the use of exposed concrete, steel and expansive windows. But whether we’re talking the use of wood or concrete or steel,
the unique summer house materials were all deliberately left untreated, shining in their raw form. The kitchen is simple by design, with wood walls and an open to above ceiling, but deliciously spiced up with contemporary style cabinets and appliances, while an industrial style staircase leads up to the private level upstairs.
Below grade, a wine cellar typical of the Southern Burgenland region in something to toast, anchoring the unique summer house as classic house shape as well as imagine!
