<a href="http://www.dezeen.com/2014/11/05/villa-s-ian-shaw-architekten-concrete-house-germany/">Villa S</a> sits on a hillside above the historic town of Schriesheim, in Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany. From its elevated site the building offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside: to the south, the Black Forest; to the west, the Palatinate and the Rhine Valley; to the east, the Odenwald mountain range; and, in the foreground, on a neighbouring hillside, the ruins of Strahlenburg Castle, built circa 1295. Within this setting, the project presents itself as an elemental two-tier structure in white cast in-situ concrete.<br />

composition of high insulation clay blocks. At 450 mm thick, these

finishes are mineral based to ensure excellent wall breathability.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Internally, the four floors provide 640 sq metres of living space.

And in line with the villa's elemental aesthetic the concrete ceilings are left exposed.<br />
<br />
At the front of the house, the symmetrical spatial and fenestration plan
organises two first-floor bedrooms with en-suite wet rooms. Deeply set windows disseminate the scheme's depth and
stature, as does the sizeable, sunken,
trapezoidal-shaped courtyard abutting the property on its west
elevation.<br />

the ground floor and a gallery/study on the first floor, are located to the
rear, orientated towards the garden via the fully glazed south facing
elevation. Here the building's substantial structural framework allows
for the insertion of a double height space (6m x 6m x 3.4m)
which articulates these rooms as one large, interconnected, light-filled interior. Coquina stone slab flooring, used throughout the villa, extends out onto the adjoining L-shaped terrace bringing the outdoors in and vice versa.<br />

The inside-outside dynamic continues on the top floor. Full height glazing on three sides offers scenic views of the surrounding countryside, including the Taunus mountain range to the north, while diffused light from the skylight above the stairwell creates a sense of expectation as one ascends, which, on fine days, is heightened by diagonal rays of light via the south-west glazing.<br />

Villa S sits on a hillside above the historic town of Schriesheim, in Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany. From its elevated site the building offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside: to the south, the Black Forest; to the west, the Palatinate and the Rhine Valley; to the east, the Odenwald mountain range; and in the foreground, on a neighbouring hillside, the ruins of Strahlenburg Castle, built circa 1295. Within this setting, the project presents itself as an elemental two-tier structure in white cast in-situ concrete.<br />

The concrete has been well honed, the culmination of years of perfecting its use, perfecting the right mix, the quality of shuttering and the waxes applied, to ensure a smooth matt finish. Here it is used within a massing composition that generates visceral, experiential space; a celebration of building, dwelling and
place-making.<br />
<br />
The lower level is articulated as a heavy concrete cuboid, its structural heft the result of the double concrete wall system, the solidity and density of which is strikingly on show at the front of the house courtesy of the deeply set glazing. The internal walls are loadbearing, thereby allowing the outer walls to function as formidable facing. Within this block, the bedrooms and bathrooms are safely cocooned. Above, the pavilion like configuration engages with the landscape and the elements.<br />

The ground floor plan is made up of three interconnected but well-defined areas. The first of these, on the north side, comprises the garage, entranceway and an external staircase leading down to the lower ground level and garden. The living space, kitchen and the building’s stairwell define the central area, with the upper landing providing access to the garage as well as to a toilet and washroom facility. The large terrace, on the south side, accessed via three sliding glass panels, completes the 135 sqm ground floor area.<br />
<br />
The downstairs layout is larger, measuring 175sqm. This consists of two south-facing bedrooms, with floor to ceiling glazing, both having en-suite bathrooms; a central area, which is capable of accommodating two additional well-sized rooms; and, towards the rear, a utility and washroom, a general storage space, and a dedicated room for the building’s electrics and heating system. Ceiling heights measure 2.6m for the lower level and 2.85m for the ground floor.<br />

From a volumetric standpoint the main living area takes centre stage, its spatial grandeur amplified by the expansive vistas that its location commands. These are framed and contained by the continuous inside-outside Brazilian slate flooring and the roof's 2.6m cantilever. On the north side of the building an equally bold tectonic display defines the entranceway, its seemingly gravity defying open canopy delivering a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.<br />

Throughout the scheme the villa's clarity of composition is enriched by the Meranti doors and window frames. These provide a strong aesthetic counterpoint to the white concrete, while simultaneouly complementing the slate flooring, both inside and out, and the opaque matt glass panels that form part of the fenestration.<br />
<br />
Within this framework, the building's bespoke light fitting delivers internal and external coverage, works within the structural parameters of the concrete ceilings, and harmonizes with the architecture's exacting, pared-back aesthetic.</div>

The outer casing (12cm x 12cm x 8cm) is milled from a solid block of aluminium; internally it comprises 49 1W LEDs mounted on a platina plate, combined with a highly polished stainless steel reflector and a specially satinized plexi-glass cover. The result is a low energy, high performance lamp that delivers an even spread of emitted light. <br />

The villa's offset long axis orchestrates the lighting layout, hence the asymmetric spacing of the three lamps along the south-facing cantilever. Save for this subtle lighting detail, the south façade's symmetry robustly counterbalances the asymmetrical arrangement that organises the north elevation.

The concrete’s etched finish - the result of extensive testing with several 1:1 samples, incorporating various aggregates and pigments - references the use of red sandstone in the door and window trims. And as an elegant counterpoint to the scheme’s over-all solidity, self-supporting stainless steel railings neatly enclose each floor plate.</div>

The spindles in each railing section sit within precisely aligned, 50mm deep countersunk stainless steel bushings, collectively configured as a single unit within the pre-cast concrete mould in order to eliminate any movement. A series of circular steel plate surrounds completes the railing detail, slotting into the bushings and sitting flush with the floor.<br />

‘He’s more German than the Germans’. That’s what they say: colleagues, clients and friends. It’s a little weird, I’m a Mancunian, but it is flattering: German architecture is all about exacting standards and tectonic precision. They call it ‘Baukunst’ – the recognition of building as an art form – and this is what we aspire to in our projects.
Ian Shaw Architekten was established in 1998. There are six of us and I am the only Engländer. We are based in Frankfurt, but we receive commissions from all over the country. We have also completed projects in the US, Russia and India.<br />
<br />
Before moving to Germany, I spent three years in London, having graduated from Liverpool University in 1989. I worked first with Ken Armstrong – which was quite an experience. Although the firm was small, its architecture was widely published and won numerous awards for design excellence. But after a year I was looking for something more structured. I wanted to hone my detailing skills, and I when I joined Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands this is what I did. LDS also gave me the opportunity to work on some decent design projects – the wing-like canopy roof for south London’s Oxo tower restaurant building on the Thames being one of the most interesting.<br />
<br />
<b>Back to Europe</b><br />
After three years, though, I wanted to get back to Europe – sorry, I mean mainland Europe! I was spoilt having done my internship with the acclaimed Swiss practice arb Architekten in Bern: with such clarity of thought, and its integration of design and construction, the firm does some beautiful work. The master builder ideal – ‘Baumeister’ – is alive and well out there. So when I got the opportunity to work in Germany – which comes a very good second to the Swiss – I had to take it. I had learnt German during my time in Bern. Actually, I had learnt Swiss German, but while I knew it was different, I didn’t appreciate how different. Big mistake. It must have taken me a good six months to adjust to High German (Hoch Deutsch). My colleagues wanted to speak English, but I insisted on German. They were very patient with me.<br />
<br />
The company that I joined, and subsequently worked with for two years, was Braun and Voight, a highly respected practice in Frankfurt am Main.
Within six months I was promoted to project director. This did feel a little odd because I was the youngest architect in my own team. One of my colleagues was in his early 60s. He was a site supervisor. His knowledge of construction was incredible; he gave me such an insight into the building culture over here: it’s about ‘making’ architecture, creating a sense of permanence, and being part of a tectonic tradition.
I need to stress that I’m not suggesting such attitudes don’t exist in Britain. But it just feels more pronounced in Germany. Everything is taken to the nth degree. Building regulations are incredibly exacting, but it makes you sharper, more disciplined and more demanding. In Germany we just assume the very highest standards. You don’t have to apologise over here if measurements are out by a couple of millimetres – it’s done again until it’s right. And this applies to all areas of construction.<br />
<br />
<b>Super sustainable</b><br />
Another issue that is central to building design in Germany, and has been for some time, is the environment. The country’s green credentials are second to none. The first Passivhaus dwellings, I believe, were built in Darmstadt as early as 1991.
In fact, we are working with one of Germany’s leading environment engineers, Professor Tichelman, at Darmstadt University of Technology – developing our own version of the plus energy house concept. And within this work process it’s the architect who controls the costings. We don’t have quantity surveyors in Germany. Not surprisingly, this helps us appreciate how much things actually cost. Moreover, along with environmental issues, it informs how we design and how we build. This methodology applies to all our projects, both here and abroad. And yes, of course, we would love to build in the UK.<br />
<br />
My architectural education – along with my three years of professional experience in London – taught me design theory, but the Germans taught me how to make buildings work. I still miss English humour, though. No one does irony like the Brits.<br />

Integral to the scheme is the use of oak for both the flooring and staircase; its colour, depth and texture creates a warm, welcoming environment, while elegantly contrasting with the wet room's white monochrome aesthetic.<br />
<br />Natural ventilation is via two slender, full height louvre panels. These
sit flush in the side walls, symmetrically sited directly in front
of the north elevation.<br />

Three identical lightwells generate an arresting source of natural light, transforming what was once a dreary, non-descript common room into an atmospheric, versatile space.<br />

From a logistical standpoint, the prefabrication of the light-wells ensured minimal disruption to the company's work schedule: just one working day to replace the old roof with the new structure, incorporating not only the new lighting but also a concealed air conditioning unit. Fresh air enters the space via an elegant linear channel inscribed into the ceiling; warm stale air is extracted via a series of small vents evenly spaced around the top edge of each of the light-wells.</div>

The lighting theme continues in the entrance hall, with a stainless steel canopy set within the glazed frontage. During the day, the reflectivity of the canopy animates the ambient light conditions. At night, its underside is bathed in the company’s corporate blue, courtesy of the LED lighting recessed in the floor plinth.<br />

This outdoor swimming pool in Darmstadt is an exercise in tectonic eloquence, a seamless integration of making and thought.<br />
<br />
The project’s simplicity belies its complexity, that being the elimination of any trace of structural expression in order to maximize the visceral impact of the white cast in-situ concrete. This was achieved using a bespoke steel frame which encased the shuttering during construction; there is no evidence of shuttering joints or anchor points, just a smooth white surface, articulated within a classic orthogonal form.<br />

The outdoor flooring specification is the same as the adjoining family room: Italian coquina stone slabs. These generate a welcoming ambience, inside and out, as well as providing an all-important slip-resistant surface around the water. A fully retractable safety pool cover, accessed from a hidden slot, provides additional peace of mind.<br />
<br />
The connectivity between the indoor and outdoor spaces is further articulated by the alignment of the flooring joints and the complementary off-white shades of internal plaster and external render. Both wall treatments harmonise with the colour, depth and texture of the stonework. <br />

The Workshop's distinctive form references the classic garage format with forecourt. Its simple steel frame structure is fitted with fibreglass translucent panels to provide both energy-efficient insulation and a softly diffused light inside, the latter facilitating productivity by creating a calm and relaxed environment in which to work. At night, the building functions as a light beacon, illuminating the main entrance to the industrial complex.<br />
<br />
In addition to the panelling's insulation, light diffusing and signage properties, its sub-structural configuration, comprising a series of delicate horizontal seams, animates the grid like composition, as articulated by the mainframe and mullions. Collectively, these details accentuate the dramatic cantilevered canopy.<br />
<br />
Internally, a concrete box, housing the office and washroom facilities, stabilizes the main structure via a series of horizontal and vertical steel struts. These eliminate the need for external cross bracing, so preserving the aesthetic clarity of the architecture and its impact as a light beacon. Only standard industrial products were used in the making of Workshop Siegen.</div>

The development responds sensitively yet assuredly to its surroundings, as can be seen in how the entrance block massing complements that of the nearby clock tower situated
within the old city wall. Moreover, the building's carefully scaled fenestration echoes that of the neighbouring properties; and the ground floor colonnade animates the
development at street level.<br />
<br />
Internally, three over-sized concrete column blocks disseminate the building's
heft, while also functioning as conduits for the various technical services,
all of which are easily accessible. Taken as a whole, this structural
arrangement delivers a series of uninterrupted floor plans, so offering
end-users a high degree of flexibility in the internal arrangement of the
spaces.<br />
<br />
The development's clarity of layout is equally on show in how the main
circulation area, located within the atrium, serves as both a reception hall
for the offices on the first floor, and a lobby area for the apartments on the
upper level. Within this central volume, the steel mesh balustrading
complements the exacting aesthetic of the untreated cast in-situ concrete. In
addition, lacquered plaster is used where tactile contact comes into play, as
with the monolithic looking bridge above the entranceway, which connects the
office floor areas located across the building's two main blocks. This link
functions as a 'visual pin', its form and solidity adding depth and drama
to the atrium design.

This scheme for a luxury hotel takes full advantage of its scenic topograpghy, some 80 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, USA, delivering panoramic views of the Pennsylvanian countryside. <br />
<br />
The building is articulated as a series of block elements and floor slabs - the former housing the services and utilities, the latter delivering the hotel’s range of bedrooms and suites, as well as its recreation and relaxation facilities. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The hotel’s strong planar design defines its mood, its presence in the landscape.

Above, the bedrooms take their place within a composition that appears to float, its refined horizontality accentuated by the inset floor to ceiling glazing on all four sides. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div>

Pavilion Siegen articulates an assured yet subtle compression of space, framing views of the lake and the local topography. The building’s tectonic rigour is palpable, with its seemingly gravity defying configuration enabling the floor plate and ceiling to cantilever some 6m beyond the lakeshore.<br />
<br />
The scheme is both a weekend fishing retreat and a garage for three classic cars. A toilet and washroom facility is also included, as is a storage unit for the client’s angling equipment. Detailing is measured throughout - from the integrated lighting to the fully glazed internal area.<br />
<br />
A strict proportional grid organizes the composition: the floor plan measures 12x12m; the interior, 9x9m; and the oversized steel doors, 3x3m - these were manufactured by the client's engineering company, as were the bespoke spindles on which they pivot, allowing each door, weighing 340 kilos, to be opened with a push of a single finger. The grid template was also used to configure the shuttering joints and fenestration divisions.<br />
<br />
Structurally, the cantilevered platform comprises a series of precast concrete slabs, tied back to massive drum foundations. A finishing layer of in-situ concrete gives the floor surface an aesthetic uniformity; the walls and ceiling were similarly cast in-situ. Integral to the project is the concrete's carefully formulated off-white finish which refines the pavilion's dialogue with the surrounding terrain.<br />
<br />
From an environmental standpoint, the use of special non-oiled shuttering ensured that the lake’s fish population came to no harm during the construction process.

The distinctive, contemporary appearance of the penthouse emanates from
its thoughtful reworking of the surrounding roofing vernacular together
with its choice of cladding - titanium zinc tiles. The result is a classic juxtaposition of old and new.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Conceptually, two orthogonal volumes articulate the build, generating the views and quality of light. At the front, a large dormer window with floor to ceiling glazing provides morning sunlight to the living areas. At the back, a generous open terrace, accessed via large-format windows, takes full advantage of the evening sun. Within the main design a series of wall panels allows for more intimate spaces to be created, if so required.<br />
<br />
As a way of further enhancing the loft style living experience, the bespoke glazing to the outside area can be folded and slid back into the adjoining wall, so delivering unobstructed views of the Frankfurt skyline and the hills beyond.<br />
<br />
In addition to the work undertaken on the penthouse, the five-storey house was fully renovated, both internally and externally, as part of the commission.<br />

This comprehensive residential renovation - comprising landscaping, restoration work and a ground floor rear extension - confidently disseminates the modernist palette within a traditional suburban setting.<br />
<br />
The project's bold architectural landscaping in fair-faced white concrete complements the scale and massing of the house. The existing façade of the building is maintained, accentuating the dynamic between old and new.<br />
<br />
Within and to the rear of the villa, the dining area, kitchen and living room have been reconfigured as one large, open plan, L-shaped space which connects with the generous terrace, courtesy of two sets of over-sized bespoke glass doors and the same oak flooring running inside and out.<br />
<br />
Restoration work within the villa’s internal lightwell is thorough and respectful - and, in the case of its dramatic sky vista, enhanced by a frameless, neatly detailed glazing unit.<br />
<br />
Generously proportioned cast in-situ concrete slabs provide steps to the front entrance which align with a similar configuration at the rear of the building, the latter connecting the terrace with the lower section of the garden. Both feature the same minimal steel railing design which elegantly contrasts with the scale and solidity of the project as a whole.<br />
