Appels Architekten unveils its latest design in the form of a sustainable wooden home located in Bavaria, Germany. It is a family home right by a lake and boasts minimal design language. It has a unique look that blends together a series of wooden cubes that house private rooms or open spaces that invite light to enter the rooms.
The cubes that open up overlook the views around the home including the lake, treetops, and garden. Additionally, the roof has a fanned shape and contrasts the sloping terrain. The studio notes that “The setting in its natural environment, the generous ceiling height, the amount of daylight, and the honest materialization create a pleasant atmosphere and a pleasant indoor climate.”
