All of a piece - the boundaries are blurred in the 11 x 11 house: The façade of this building seems to merge seamlessly into the roof. An impression that is reinforced by the symmetrical arrangement of vertical wooden slats. Planned by Titus Bernhard Architekten and built by the carpentry company Gebrüder Loy Bau, the house is just one example of the successful interaction between craftsmen and architects/interior designers. A total of 30 construction projects from Germany, Austria and Switzerland were on show in the new "planned + executed" exhibition at the International Crafts Fair in Munich. Craftsmen and architects/architects were only able to apply for these together. The best team performance was awarded the "geplant + ausgeführt" prize on Thursday evening, March 15 at 7 p.m., the first time it has been awarded in Munich.
From the jury's press release
The 1st prize went to Titus Bernhard Architekten/Gebrüder Loy:
When looking at the 11 x 11 house, the clear separation between the façade and roof seems like a relic from times gone by. Vertical slats that converge at ridge beams on the roof create a seemingly seamless transition. The different densities and very precise positioning of the slats ensure that rain and snow can run off. The wooden windows are precisely fitted into the geometry of the slats. (...)
The "Handwerk & Design" planned + executed prize at the International Crafts Fair for outstanding collaboration between architecture/interior design & craftsmanship is awarded for the first time in 2012.
