Feldbalz House

Feldbalz House was designed by Swiss architect, Gus Wustemann and is situated beside Lake Zurich in Switzerland. It is a very modern house with a minimalist design, which has been set over three floors with a balcony on each to give superb views over the lake. the house is all open plan to allow for a variety of different living situations. The living area is not situated on the ground floor like most houses, but is instead on the first floor to allow the inhabitants to appreciate the views across Lake Zurich. The master bedroom is on the top floor of the house which leads out onto a roof terrace which can be used for relaxing or entertaining. There are glass panels on the ground floor or the house which can be closed away to give more privacy, but if you lived in that house with that view you would want to keep the panels open because it is just so beautiful. The design for this building is very square and flat. Everything is in line and parrallel, giving the house a crisp and clean appearence, which is very contrasting from its background of trees and bushes, but it seems to fit in. When the lake it flat calm and mirror like, this also helps the building to become part of its surroundings.
