From the outline of the building to design details, this summer residency was developed with complete dedication to fully engage with the site’s outstanding location directly at the waterline of the Wörthersee. All floors open up towards the lake. The glance at the panoramic view starts at the entrance of the lobby and unfolds through full length sliding floor-to-ceiling windows. Front and side decks transitions into the roof, which was sculpted with such care that we designed the door handle in reference to it.
