Text by the Architects: The site is situated along a residential road with buildings primarily dating from the 1930s as it is typical for Stuttgart’s hillside locations. The residence relates to the down-to-earth quality and the scale of the neighbouring two-storey, cubic houses, but the façade facing the street is, owed to modern living requirements, mainly closed.
