the oldest parts of this historical, almost storybook farmhouse, which
is situated in ramseiden directly above the center of the town of
saalfelden in salzburg, date back to the thirteenth century. in 2005
these attractive walls were extended to generate extra living space.
constructed of prefabricated wooden elements, the building volume,
which docks onto the northern end, comprises two space pods of equal
size separated by an axially aligned space that affords an open view
through glazed surfaces on all sides. the roof of the new extension
serves as a terrace for the upper floor. located between the new and
old structures, the staircase leads directly to the garden and would
serve as a separate access way if the new wing were to function as
an autonomous unit. the eastern-facing pod houses the bedroom and
bathroom and its floor-to-ceiling window tips outward, whereas to
the west, the glazed wall of the living-room pod slants up toward
the sky.
the floor plan of the simple, extant building was modified to create
two autonomous units with separate entranceways, thus providing distinct
living spaces for two families.
