Project: Dupli Casa – House near Ludwigsburg
Design Architect: J. MAYER H. Architects
Location: Ludwigsburg, Germany
Photographer: David Franck
The Dupli Casa house, designed by J. MAYER H. Architects who has been awarded the Mies-van-der-Rohe-Award 2003 Emerging Architect and Winner Holcim Awards 2005 Bronze Europe for Metropol Parasol. The new house was built and echoes the footprint of the original house built in 1984 (as shown in pictures), duplicating and rotating it.
+ architect’s statement
The geometry of the Dupli.Casa is based on the footprint of the house that previously was located on the site, originally built in 1984 and with many extensions and modifications since then. The new building echoes the “family archeology” by duplication and rotation. Lifted up, it creates a semi-public space on ground level between two layers of discretion. The spatial configuration of the villa performs a sophisticated connection between inside and outside and offers spectacular views onto the old town of Marbach and the German national literature archive on the other side of the Neckar valley.
