Concept residential house in Salzkammergut
Advertorial How can environmentally friendly living be combined with high living standards? The new Solarlux concept house in Salzkammergut, Upper Austria, provides answers to this question. The building, which is constructed almost entirely from timber, is designed as an atmospheric place where modern and sustainable architecture can be experienced with all the senses. Architect and expert in solar construction Dr. Peter Kuczia achieved this not only by carefully integrating the house in the unique mountain landscape, but with large, movable glass fronts that create seamless transitions between the indoors and outdoors, a loggia that functions as a climate buffer zone and building technology that relies fully on regenerative energy sources, among other things. The low-tech ventilation concept was developed together with Thomas Auer, professor of building technology and climate-friendly construction at the Technical University of Munich.
