"Living at the Threshold of Cemetery and Railway Line - House HSBW is located in Heidelberg's Weststadt district, at the threshold between the historic Bergfriedhof cemetery and the adjacent railway line."
"On a wedge-shaped site, the building develops a distinct, site-specific form that balances urban presence with a sense of privacy."
House HSBW sits on a wedge-shaped site in Heidelberg's Weststadt district between the historic Bergfriedhof cemetery and an adjacent railway line. The building's form is distinct and site-specific, derived from the constraints and opportunities of the wedge-shaped plot. The design negotiates opposing conditions by asserting an urban presence toward the city while retreating or arranging spaces to ensure privacy along the cemetery and rail edges. Massing, orientation, and enclosure strategies reconcile visibility and seclusion. The result is a dwelling that inhabits the threshold, accommodating both urban engagement and quiet residential privacy.
