At an altitude of 1,113 metres above sea level, in the midst of the Hohe Tauern mountains this house rises above the everyday. The air is rich with the scent of pine forests. And in its peaceful, unspoilt natural surroundings, this house is simple and yet luxurious. Munich architect Andreas Mack has used natural materials and warm colours to create an idyllic nest – “a home for sun worshippers”. Like a birdhouse, the back and sidewalls of the house are completely closed and ensure a sense of security. To the south, the cubature opens out completely – with spectacular views of the Salzach Valley and the Kitzsteinhorn.
The house offers two apartments with a surprising amount of room across a compact total floor-space. The two apartments have open and light-flooded rooms with fireplaces providing natural warmth. The perfectly equipped kitchens will delight every hobby chef. In the 73 sqm “swallow’s nest” on the upper floor the complete south side is glazed, so that the most beautiful views are offered everywhere – even from the free-standing bathtub in the sleeping area you can enjoy the mountain panorama. The 47 sqm “sparrow’s nest” on the ground floor has its own patio with a view of the Kitzsteinhorn. Both apartments offer access to the wellness area with a sauna in the basement.
