VILLA SORAVIA MILLSTATT, AUSTRIA (2001-2006) COOP ...

The openness of a free ground plan in the first floor is achieved by placing the
villa on a “table” of reinforced concrete, which separates the semi-public and
largely transparent spaces of this level from the private spaces on the upper
floors.
The minimal material concept, which calls for structural concrete in combination
with white painted wood and metal surfaces, evenly covers the façade and roof,
lending the building a monolithic character. The orientation of the joint pattern is
consciously designed to be anti-tectonic (sloped) and in this way counteracts
the outer form of the villa.
