The Architecture is to express a relationship to nature in which the house is part of the natural environment - recreating a lakeshore with discreet interventions and a simple wooden shell sitting carefully on the landscape acting as a refuge. Lucent shadows from the existing trees enter the space. The grass area seems to extend the interior of the house. The aim of this project was to create Organic Architecture by expressing the site character, the articulation of space and material, the light design and the contrasting quality of private and open space.
The architect Stephan Maria Lang possesses an extraordinary talent for getting at the special quality of any given site and combining it with the personality of his clients. The quality and the beauty of Stephan Maria Lang´s works lie in the hidden details, in the surprising views, in the play of light and shadow. The integration of landscape, garden, and interior into a Gesamtkunstwerk, an integrated and holistic masterpiece of architecture. The use of the latest technologies is a matter of course in order to meet the need for comfort and energy efficiency. However, the essential qualities of this way of life are inspiration from Japanese thought, an appreciation of patina, and the beauty of imperfect.

If you truly wish to reflect on how you would like to build a house, this question cannot be answered in two or three words but requires tranquility and time to awaken your imagination. You have to be clear about what you require in order to feel comfortable, what your needs truly are and which dormant desires and memories you would like to integrate into your ideal home. Those who regard architecture superficially like to categorize it as old or new, modern or classical, beautiful or ugly. But the originality of architecture always depends on the people who have dared to go on a journey with an architect, starting from the idea and progressing through the building process, to transform their dreams into reality.
