Peter Gronych and Yvonne Dollega from the firm gronych+dollega architekten devised this new house located in the countryside on the outskirts of Heuchelheim that is designed with a unique
radical sustainable feature as it rotates with the course of the sun like a sunflower
Kylie Residence recently won a 2022 International Architecture Award and a Green Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.In the winter
the heating requirement is minimized due to solar gains whereby in the summer
it turns into the shade protecting the house from overheating
the relationship between the exterior and the interior is constantly restaged by rotating the building
the residents experience the effect of the different scenarios on the interior.Seasons and the run of the day can be perceived emotionally
creating intense spatial atmospheres and a high level of identity.The sculptural shape of the residential building develops from the requirements of the users as well as from the structural and energetic frame conditions
The living area forms the heart of the building with high open-air space and a dynamically designed staircase made of steel.The functional areas are arranged around this air space as freely formed architectural elements.The privacy area for the residents is integrated as an independent structure in the shape of a boomerang into the cylindrical base structure
A walkway through the airspace connects the work area and the far-reaching relaxation area.Thanks to its plasticity
the sculptural shape of the residential building creates a variety of spatial situations both indoors and outdoors.The exciting geometries and the individual spatial alignments of the structural components allow the exterior and interior to become one.The architecture transforms into a living organism.Heating is provided by a groundwater heat pump.Thermal comfort is achieved by using capillary tube mats on the floor and ceiling.A photovoltaic system on the roof generates electricity
the house produces more energy than it consumes.The building is constructed with sustainability in mind
Building materials are used according to their significance.The building is realized as a prefabricated modern timber frame construction due to its economic efficiency and ecological aspects but also on account of its weight.Oakwood as a native hardwood is used in the exterior for the decking of the terrace and in the interior for the furniture

22quadrat’s work is visually derived from a series of spontaneous graphite drawings, which was distilled further into single dots. the interior features approximately six million dots that were transferred by hand onto interior walls. signage system and all spatial graphics were completed by 22quadrat in cooperation with frankfurt-based firm MMZ architekten.
