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.
