Architect : Michael Shamiyeh — BAU|KULTUR, Austria Location : Volkersdorf, Enns, Austria Structure Engineer : Helmut Schiebel Contractor : Winfried Orth Materials : Concrete & Glass Photographs : Paul OttThe conception of the house became a deep engagement with Mies, in particular with the Farnsworth House, and the question of how a space should be constituted in order to open itself to the surrounding by simultaneously offering privacy. Furthermore, it became an investigation of how much freedom in space effectively determines the way of living in contrast to a few certain spatial determinations that liberate. Whereas the first model refers to Rietveld’s attempts to create freedom e.g. by means of sliding doors etc. the later model refers to Mies’ structured open plan.View more about Seifert House [via] Modern house design.
