The pinnacle of sustainable architecture
Residential home in southern Germany
Bielefeld. There are building projects where holistic planning by the architect is paired with construction expertise and the client's distinct feel for style. In these instances, something extraordinary is created, which is exactly what happened with a private family home in southern Germany, which was designed by Freiburg-based architectural practice Harter + Kanzler & Partner using nine large Schüco ASS 77 PD.SI sliding systems.

The Schüco sliding units were installed in such a way that only the slimline centre mullions and vertical profiles of the sliding units are visible. All units are driven by a motor, making opening and closing easy and contactless.

The division and arrangement of the levels are perfectly matched to the hillside plot of the property. A freestanding staircase leads from the entrance area (ground floor, street side) down to the main living spaces on the garden level.
