project 90 // 09.09.2004 // residential building with studio gleissenberg
"In Gleissenberg, a village in the Bavarian Forest with a population of 1000, a house with a transparent plastic envelope comes as a surprise in the new development area. The simpe shape of this low-cost project makes reference to traditional methods of housebuilding in the countryside but re-interprets these methods by using new materials. In spite of the tight budget, the Munich architect Florian Nagler designed a large, light-filled house with a studio for the clients in the form of a prefabricated wooden building, enclosed in high-quality polycarbonate grouser plates."
