Ein schmales Haus (A Narrow House)
Architecture: Geri Blasisker (2014-2016) Builder-owner: Leonice Knapp Open to the public: no The house received a distinction of the State of Tyrol for New Buildings in 2016.
The basis for this extremely narrow house was the shape of the 11-meter-wide property, which was considered as unsuitable for building. Starting from the lot shape, Geri Blasiker developed a self-confident and sustainable structure offering a small family a unique home, featuring 108 m² of usable living area accessible on six mezzanine levels. The building envelope was made of brick and gets by without insulation. A turbine along the nearby stream completely supplies the house with energy.
