085 Villa Kubesch

Salzburg, Austria

Developed as the winning proposal of a private competition, the Villa Kubesch is conceived as a refined and quiet retreat immersed in nature.

Positioned at the highest edge of the site overlooking Salzburg, the building spans the full width of the plot with a shallow depth, orienting all main spaces toward the panoramic valley while maintaining privacy.

The upper level accommodates the main residence, while the floor below hosts two independent guest apartments and a dedicated Fitness & Spa area. A cantilevered upper floor and wide, uninterrupted glazing frame the landscape and strengthen the relationship between interior and exterior.

Built with rammed earth and natural wood, the architecture reads as a volume carved into the slope, blending with the surrounding forest. Timber beams extend from the living area to the terrace, creating a continuous spatial sequence with a calm, timeless character.
