A private residence on Lake Stienitzsee reinterprets gabled roof typologies and brick construction to establish a contemporary dialogue with the site’s industrial and territorial context.
The project reinterprets traditional gabled roof geometries, drawing reference from the nearby former brick factory and its characteristic forms. The deliberate use of brick as a local and vernacular material anchors the villa within its historical and territorial context.
Organised over two levels, the villa is designed to balance privacy and views toward the lake. The ground floor opens fully toward the water and accommodates the primary living functions, including living, dining, and kitchen areas. The upper level houses private spaces such as bedrooms and work areas, framed by pitched roofs and oriented toward the landscape.
Cantilevered volumes define the architectural identity of the upper floor while providing self-shading and privacy to the spaces below. Through the careful calibration of form, material, and orientation, the project establishes a clear dialogue between contemporary residential architecture and local building traditions, shaping a refined lakeside residence.
