Stephan Maria Lang Architects proudly introduce House LW27, a residence situated in Munich, Germany.

In a high class residential area, a large volume residence had to be constructed on a relatively small site. Located next to a sizeable outdoor pool, there was very little space for a garden. Therefore, a decision was made to create a rooftop garden to closely align with the concept of a zero-seal house, meaning sealed areas are given back to nature on the rooftop.

The side borders are hidden by a series of newly planted canopy trees, which provide natural sun protection. On ground level, an open floor plan flows freely from east to west along the pool. Floor to ceiling sliding windows allow inside/outside living throughout the year.

The upper floor features a bedroom area with ensuite bathrooms and separate dressing facilities, and a lush rooftop terrace with whirlpool that is reserved for the hardworking parents.

A sensual minimalistic atmosphere is carefully detailed with great attention to natural and artificial lighting, inclusing a unique light feature in the entree that was designed and handcrafted by world renowned Austrian Bartenbach Light.
