HAUS D.
NEAR TUTTLINGEN
With Haus D. near Tuttlingen in southern Baden-
Württemberg, the Stuttgart Yonder architectural office
once again proves its skills: Despite difficult conditions,
a kind of architecture was produced which has major
value as to appearance as well as function. Like al -
ways, however, here as well this requires a client who
fully trusts his architects.
T hat contemporary architecture in the rural areas continues to be
very difficult is something open-minded building clients as well as
committed architects know full well. Anything out of the ordinary
almost always seems to call for a belligerent and, unfortunately, often
also litigious neighbour. To consider Haus D. shown here to be more
than the famous exception to the rule would therefore be premature,
even though there was no trouble with the local residents in this case.
What saved peace in the community of Möhringen, which has 4,000 in -
ha bitants and, since the 1970s, has belonged to the city of Tuttlingen,
was probably above all the fact that one hardly notices the black house
in the villagescape since it is hidden from view on all sides by large
neighbouring buildings. Thus just a narrow driveway between two hou-
ses leads to the property. All along, the plot has belonged to the adja-
cent farmstead and has now been handed down in the family to the
next generation. The young client, so to speak, moved from his teen
room right into his own home next door. For constructing it, he com-
missioned the Stuttgart architects Katja Knaus and Benedikt Bosch. The
latter is originally also from Tuttlingen; the two men have known each
other for many years. The cooperation was correspondingly full of trust!
For the ascending terrain, Knaus and Bosch designed a ground plan
which spirals up. From the ground-level integrated carport, six larger
and smaller differences in level lead up to the roof terrace. The spatial
and constructive key element for this is an intersection of two massive
concrete walls. The outer walls and the roof, in contrast, are designed
as light-weight timber constructions and covered with a black textile or
sheet-metal skin respectively. The geometry follows the form of the pro-
perty and the legal clearance areas. The interior was designed by using
budget-friendly plasterboard and plenty of timber, here maritime pine.
A few colourful pieces of furniture add deli berate accents. The house
thus proves in the most attractive way that the current Austerity Chic à
la Arno Brandlhuber is not only a metropolitan phenomenon but also
Konzeptzeichnung • Concept drawing succeeds quite well out in the country.
