House with a View in Hinterbrühl steps down the hillside above Hinterbrühl, Austria, giving a clear vantage over forest and valley. Caramel Architekten shapes the house as a stacked sequence of terraces, glazed rooms, and circulation routes that follow the terrain. Across its levels, the project reads as a precise response to slope and view rather than a single object on the land.
In the serene outskirts of Vienna, Haus Max emerges as a haven for creativity and family life. Designed by Caramel Architekten in 2023, this house-turned-retreat fuses contemporary timber construction with sustainable elements, including integrated PV panels and a heat pump for near self-sufficiency.
It showcases a unique stacking of living spaces, with an expansive artist’s studio at its core, and connects its inhabitants to nature through terraces that invite the surrounding greenery in. It’s a masterful reinterpretation of the traditional gable-roofed houses of the area, presenting a discreet street presence that unfolds into a bold, open embrace of the landscape.
