Where life unfolds

At first, Katharina’s and Christopher plans for their new home seemed clear. They had already discussed designs for a conventional building on their newly acquired plot with an architect. But an impromptu visit to the HUF Village was about to change their thinking entirely.

As they explored the show homes, their initial ideas soon gave way to enthusiasm for a different way of living. Rather than standard solutions, they discovered light-filled interiors, expansive glazing and homes that brought together openness, individuality and comfort. “That was really the magic moment,” Christopher, an entrepreneur, recalls. What began as a casual visit opened up an entirely new perspective on their project. “This is for us. This is how we want to live,” the couple concluded.

A sense of space

The result is a flat-roofed HUF Haus MODUM shaped by the distinctive characteristics of its site. Developed in close collaboration with the family, the design responds sensitively to the plot’s geometry and topography. Three clearly defined volumes accommodate different functions while forming a harmonious architectural ensemble. One houses storage space and the garage; another provides private retreats for the family of eight. The third, and most open, contains the generous living, dining and kitchen space, opening out towards the garden.

The orientation of the house follows an equally considered approach. Rather than aligning it rigidly with neighbouring buildings, architect Alexander Huf chose to orientate the garden towards the south-east, making the most of the site’s potential. Far-reaching views, privacy and a close relationship between house and landscape were central to the design. The arrangement of the three volumes also maximises daylight across the outdoor spaces.
