Fallenberggasse

At the foot of the Fallenberg in Dornbirn, in a quiet, lush location with good access to public transportation, an apartment building with a total of 7 apartments was being built. A particular challenge for the design was the slope of the plot of up to 10 feet. The goal was stay within the scale of the surrounding single-family homes. The entrance is situated at the lowest point of the site and thus enables almost level access to the underground car park.

The basement extends, within the scope of the legal possibilities, almost to the boundaries of the site, thus offering maximum utilization of the building site. The two south-east and south-west facing 3 bedroom apartments with garden areas on the ground floor are slightly above street level. The spacious terrace on the top floor offers a clear view of Lake Constance. The building is a solid concrete construction and was given a plastered facade. The wooden slats of the balcony railings and the windows are in brown tones. The attic is visually set back from parapet height with a wooden facade.
