Refugium Betzenstein

Refugium Betzenstein

The Refugium Betzenstein is a modern passive house in the Fränkische Schweiz region. The slate cladding on the façade and roof gives the archetypally shaped building a monolithic appearance.

Black

Black is considered the architect's colour – at least as far as clothing is concerned. But of course there are also many impressive houses with black façades, with different materials. We would like to present some examples here.
