Vienna-based studio Destilat Architecture+Design has completed the 3M House project.
This two story contemporary residence is located in Linz, he third-largest city of Austria and capital of the state of Upper Austria. According to the architects: The objective was to integrate the uniqueness of the forest edge location into the building concept, ensuring a simultaneous separation from the settlement while staging the view over the Danube Valley and foothills of the Alps. The building’s floor plan is marked by the building windows and, following the topography, is stepped into split levels, which play with the surrounding outdoor space. An exposed concrete body with flagged surface forms the center of the house. The split levels allow for different ceiling heights on all floors. The courtyard is cut into the upper floor and illuminates rooms on all three levels, leaving neighbors to face a monolithic, closed-looking facade.”
