Holiday home Stel­zenhaus

At first glance, the ele­vated wooden house on the out­skirts of Schleching – a small village in the Bavarian Achental valley not far from Lake Chiemsee – is remi­niscent of the pile dwel­lings of pre­his­toric times, the fisher­men’s huts on the Atlantic coast or a tree house. Tra­di­tional ele­ments that the Munich-based archi­tecture studio arnhard und eck has taken up and com­bined with modern con­s­truction methods, con­tem­porary design and a sus­tainable approach. Simple and light-footed in design, without super­fluous fur­niture, tele­vi­sions and fuss, yet with ever­y­thing you need.

The building, con­s­tructed from local wood, is based on point foun­da­tions that seal as little surface area as pos­sible, with views towards Brei­ten­stein, Gscheu­rerwand and Hochgern. The directly adjacent buil­dings are hidden from view. Access is from the garden via a small clo­a­kroom and staircase leading up to a bright living room. Here, on the south side, the sun shines from morning to evening into the com­munal area with kitchen, small fire­place, large dining table and long, wide window sills, sur­rounded by the Alpine pan­orama. The gallery above can be used as a reading room, play area or bedroom. The two further double bed­rooms and the two bath­rooms are separate.

All rooms focus on the essen­tials – from the warm, light wood panelling to the under­stated fur­nis­hings with matching fix­tures and occa­sional designer pieces. While the colour scheme inside is limited to a few accents, the grey façade with red shutters is remi­niscent of a tree house and makes an almost tongue-in-cheek statement.

The balcony is an inviting place to have breakfast, while the garden offers another dining area and an outdoor shower. For an afternoon nap or a break in the shade, you can make yourself com­for­table in the ham­mocks between the stilts – unless a table tennis or bas­ketball match is in pro­gress, that is. For all other acti­vities, nature begins right outside the door.
