Nestled amidst historic villas, the Raute Römerberg stands as a testament to responsible urban development, blending seamlessly into its park-like surroundings. Designed by Moser und Hager Architekten, this family home pays homage to the architectural heritage of its locale while embracing contemporary living.
Concept
Situated on Römerstrasse in Linz, the residence harmonizes with its turn-of-the-century counterparts, adopting their characteristic features. Drawing inspiration from the neighboring villas, the design reinterprets their typology, featuring a solid base, a recessed entrance, and ornamental façades. An enclosed courtyard offers privacy from the street, while a rhombic upper story adds a modern decorative touch.
Architectural Elements
The ground floor boasts a robust construction, allowing for future expansion, while the upper floor features a timber frame structure with a traditional saddle roof. Triangular glazing creates a rhombic motif, defining the building’s aesthetic. Large folding doors connect the interior with a terrace, offering panoramic views of the old orchard.
Implementation
The ground floor hosts a spacious living area with a red box wall serving as a focal point, housing the kitchen and delineating different zones. On the upper floor, compact bedrooms are complemented by a terrace area, providing sheltered outdoor space. Heating is provided by geothermal energy, ensuring sustainability and energy efficiency.
Conclusion
Raute Römerberg exemplifies a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, paying homage to its historic context while embracing contemporary design principles. Through meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful implementation, Moser und Hager Architekten have created a timeless residence that seamlessly integrates into its surroundings, embodying the essence of responsible urban living.
