Sculptural Home in Munich Built Using Prefabricated Materials

Envisioned and implemented by German studio Titus Bernhard Architekten, House 11 x 11 gives the overall impression of a small, compact home. The 1,960 square foot (182 square meters) contemporary abode in Munich, Germany, was especially developed to serve the needs of a family, in an area that captures the serenity of natural elements. According to the architects, “House 11 x 11 is an icon for its users, symbolic and built with a new method of construction: the exterior walls and the wooden roof made of prefabricated elements are covered by a vertical wood-lamella façade without counter-battens, converging on the ridge of the roof. A pronounced graphic character is the result, reinforced by the variable density and very precise setting of the lamellae, including the integration of the wooden window frames”. The inner layou t is based on continuity and the core of the house is an open plan living area, characterized by a minimalist, yet inviting design.
