Open for views: the "Haus am See" is in Langenargen on the waterfront of Lake Constance. It is a show home of the Baufritz company, the specialist in ecological building. Thanks to the almost entirely glazed south side, the building opens up with a large terrace with views of the lake, which creates a unique connection to nature. An intelligent ventilation system automatically supplies fresh air when required. Natural, pollutant-tested materials were chosen throughout the house: rustic oak floorboards with oiled surfaces, polished Jura marble slabs, kitchen surfaces in oak and limestone. The bedroom leads past a room divider of natural tree trunks into the wellness area with a free-standing bath and washbasin of enamelled titanium steel from the Art line. Just outside the window: the lake and the Appenzell mountains - pure relaxation.

From the Field: Wonderfully Natural
For a House by the Lake
“To compliment the wonderfully natural atmosphere of the house, I wanted a free-standing bath that was kept very simple - clear and shapely ... ART meets all these criteria. I really like its refined, purist, fluid design. For me, it is a kind of classic bath, reinterpreted. The fact that it is made of steel enamel, a natural material, goes well with it. The bath expresses exactly what I want to convey.”
“The Baufritz company has specialised in ecological house building for decades. All of the building materials have been tested. We do not use any toxic adhesives, no polystyrene, no PU foams. For us, ‘Good for man and nature’ is a conviction that is deeply rooted throughout the company. And that includes the fact that I only use healthy, valuable materials in the interior design of the show homes. And that quickly leads us on to BETTE ... products made of glazed titanium steel.”
