This particular house was designed by the well-known architect Fritz Schwarz. It is a demonstration of his conception of architecture as an arena for the confrontation of opposites. The sloping plot is confronted with the convex curve of the lake to the east and the peaks of a mountain range to the west. The basement of an existing house was retained on the plot.
The narrow plot led to the concept of a tower house with one room per floor (atelier/studio, sleeping, cooking-dining, living, library) - a form of housing that was widespread in the early Middle Ages. A storage room for a future elevator is provided on each floor. Open staircases freely connect the floors. The house responds to the curve of the lake on the valley side with a round terrace and to the peaks on the mountain side with the pyramid of the winter garden: the round shapes on the valley side are repeated with the concave incision in the ceiling of the dining room above the dining area and the convex balcony of the library, creating a cascade of round shapes. The sloping roof reflects the slope of the terrain.
This exceptional house offers individualists the opportunity to live out their unique lifestyle and living style. It is suitable for various living arrangements.
The location of this property is ideal. It is in a quiet residential area and you can reach the center of Horgen, the two train stations, bus stop and motorway access road in a short time. Three cars can be parked directly in front of the house.
This special property offers plenty of privacy, elegance and comfort. Enjoy unobstructed lake views from your own piece of paradise. This is a rare opportunity not to be missed. Schedule a viewing today and experience the timeless beauty of this beautiful property.
