Modern Private House by Maria Flöckner und Hermann Schnöll
Modern Private house designed by Maria Flöckner und Hermann Schnöll. It was located in 47°40’48”N/13°8’12”E. It describes a site in a rural setting which is at the same time specific and universal. The surrounding landscape is unique, but could easily be replaced by another rural or urban location. The house could equally well be located anywhere else. It is not created for a specific location, rather it is simply a house in a location – or indeed a location in itself. The house site area is 1000m2, it located in the middle of farms, forest edges and mountains emerge emboldened into the landscape
This house for a universal setting is merely a hub in a personal network. For some time now one has been able to connect to a service infrastructure quite independently from any social pressure to make that connection in a particular location. This act of connection now takes place inside the house. Even the road network reaches inside the house. The house is an extension of both the vectoral streetscape and the visual landscape. (source)
