Family home in Paderborn

Bielefeld. The architect of this remarkably transparent family home in the district of Paderborn, Germany, deliberately created contrasts between open and closed surfaces, and smooth light and textured dark materials. Generously glazed and highly thermally insulated PVC-U window and sliding door systems from Schüco made it possible to achieve a uniform façade appearance, individual functionality and high, long-term protection from draughts, cold, moisture and noise.

The building envelope of this family home is characterised by a distinctive horizontal segmentation, which is highlighted by the use of contrasting colours and materials.

The architectural aim was for the building to blend in harmoniously with the location of the plot on a hillside, while also creating an architectural accent within the surroundings.

The balcony and roof are cantilevered and, in addition to the integrated external blind units, also support the sun shading and glare protection systems. The visible outer surfaces of all of the window and door systems were colour co-ordinated with the dark clinker bricks.

Garden elevation, ground floor: all of the glazing is impact-resistant triple insulating glass. Outstanding thermal insulation values are also guaranteed for the long-term thanks to the permanently elastic Schüco EPDM gaskets of the Schüco LivIng system units.
