Project Description:

The area around the small town of Künzelsau in Baden-Württemberg offers a unique cultural vibrancy, between historic castles and museums of contemporary art, complemented by lush green nature and idyllic countryside along the River Kocher. In the hilly landscape, characterized by wide green spaces and mountain ranges with great views, stands this modern, cubic-style home. The windows open towards the meadows and fields for a fantastic view and, together with the terraces and warm wooden floors, give the building a unique character.

The clients turned to KE and dealer KBK GmbH Fenster + Türen for a bespoke project that would meet two different requirements: firstly, to make the terrace on the second floor, which adjoins the kitchen and dining room, usable, and secondly, to create a relaxation area on the second floor as an extension of the outdoor living area. To extend the living space and add two striking design elements to the structure of the house, it was decided to install the Kedry Skylife bioclimatic louvered roof and the sail Kheope.

The Kedry Skylife louvred roof is a special element that allows you to use the sheltered outdoor area for convivial meals and relaxed get-togethers in almost any weather. The roof with adjustable slats, which allow light and air circulation to be regulated, can be opened completely. Here in the color carbon, Kedry Skylife is a perfect complement to the existing building. The equipment was completed with LED lighting both inside and out, conjuring up an open-air ambience in a class of its own that will keep you entertained until late in the evening. The Kheope sail was chosen to make optimum use of the space on the upper floor, making it more comfortable and protecting it from the wind and sun, which is very present in the house positioned on a hill, and which shines with its lightness, flexibility and timeless design. Without distracting from the landscape and the view, it blends perfectly into the structural context with its clear lines. Consisting of high-quality stainless steel poles, sturdy brackets and a sail made of nautically inspired canvas, Kheope is both a sunshade and a design element. The sail can be individually adjusted and can also be used to shade irregular areas.

In this beautiful new project in the heart of Germany, KE proves once again that the company knows how to propose effective design solutions with unique products. KE's all-round service ranges from advice and design to selection and installation, in both residential and hospitality contexts, making every outdoor area unique and distinctive.
