Spanning 2,500 sf (230 m²), this custom-designed single-family residence in Vreden, Germany features a distinctive dual-volume composition. It combines a grounded, street-adjacent stone plinth with a protruding timber T-shaped volume cantilevering outward above the private garden. Built with advanced prefabricated construction techniques, the structural frame of the house was erected within merely three days, and the entire project finished in six weeks. This streamlined construction process eliminates construction uncertainties and budget overruns, while delivering precise engineering standards, superior build quality and robust sustainable performance.

The solid stone ground floor houses all core functional spaces, including living, dining, kitchen, bathrooms and the primary bedroom suite. The lightweight upper wood-and-glass volume cantilevers across the site, sheltering a covered carport and forming a double-height office atrium, alongside guest quarters, storage rooms and a garden-facing balcony. Its wide overhang creates a shaded private terrace directly accessible from the master bedroom. High-performance prefabricated building envelopes provide excellent thermal insulation, complemented by radiant floor heating and strategically placed glazing to capture passive solar heat. Clad in weather-resistant reclaimed Ipe wood siding and topped with green roof systems, the residence allows natural material patination, minimizes long-term maintenance requirements, facilitates effective stormwater retention and cuts overall operational energy consumption.
