Panorama view of house is one of the aspect for dwelling comfortable. Villa A is one of the villas which have a beautiful city’s panorama. Designed by Najjar & Najjar, this villa is located nearby on the slope of the Poestling Berg, a mountain overlooking Linz the capital of Upper Austria. Following the topography of the site the house is partly caved in the ground. The other side is entirely open to the panoramic view over the city.

The house is partly caved in the ground. It features one open living area so all functional zones are in just few steps from each other. The bedrooms are located on the upper levels that are accessed by stairs which lead to an open gallery. The dining area with an open kitchen is reached by taking a few steps down from the central hall. From there another couple of steps lead to a comfortable area where one can lounge on the sofa or chaise lounge overlooking the swimming pool and enjoying the marvellous view over the city. The floor materials are distinguished according to level and function.

The Roof is a steel beam grid structure with aluminium panel cladding. On the southern and western side of the building the roof cantilevers beyond the terraces so as to provide an efficient sun protection in summer. The low winter sun warms up the interior space. This implementation of the passive energy concept is supported by a recuperator in the ground and sun collectors on the roof. It is highly energy efficient and fulfils all requirements for a “green building”, as set in the European building standards.
