House M

Titus Bernhard Architekten House M Munich Grünwald

The house is a further development of the 9 × 9 house. The special feature of the plot is its northern slope, which has to be climbed over two storeys to reach the almost flat garden level.

This gives rise to the leitmotif of a "house winding up the slope" with a quarry stone façade whose color gradient from dark (below) to light (above) strives towards the light and the garden-related program areas. Despite the complex geometry, the organization of the house is divided into clearly legible zones, which are initially based on additive basic modules measuring 7.80 x 7.80 meters. The lighting is of particular importance. Side light from the south and west as well as skylights on the north and east sides make targeted use of shadows and diffuse light.
