NEW YORK: The seven hundred and thirty-sixth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
Triendl und Fessler Architekten has completed an affordable home in an Austrian village, featuring a hole in its centre that provides residents with a secluded garden courtyard.
The Vienna studio designed the property for a multigenerational family who had requested a low-cost home in the village of Bisamberg, approximately 18 kilometres north of the capital.
The building’s lop-sided profile hints at the configuration of its interior, with the taller side housing the main living spaces over two storeys. The roof slopes gradually from its apex and is punctuated by a large opening directly over the central garden.
Inside, the living spaces occupy an L-shaped block that is positioned on the opposite side of the courtyard from the functional service areas.
