Commissioned by a well-known family of

architects in Stuttgart, this project involved

the radical reconstruction of an existing

1950s house. Benedikt Bosch and Katja Knaus

of Studio Yonder were tasked with giving

the building’s structure an aesthetic and

environmental overhaul, making better use

of the internal space as well as enhancing

the views over the valley. Arranged over four

levels, the house sits in the middle of a steep

hillside, with road access at both top and

bottom. Two new upper levels provide

spectacular views, while the architects have

rearranged the interior as a more flowing,

unified space, with walnut and oak used

for built-in furniture, room dividers and

the staircase. The reconstruction has also

ramped up the house’s energy efficiency,

with the installation of geothermal heating,

photovoltaic shingles and electric-charging

stations for cars.
