The green studio house, or Atelierhaus, designed by Ludwig Zitzelsberger in Bobingen, Germany, draws inspiration from traditional local barns. Completed in 2023 for an artist, the 124-square-meter timber structure is defined by its deep green exterior, which covers both the timber-board cladding and the roof membrane. The building is set on a site with heterogeneous buildings, from 1960s garages to the 16th-century Cosimosinian Castle. It is located at the end of a long driveway, providing a quiet, central focus for the property. The Atelierhaus features a straightforward, elongated plan, divided into living and studio spaces by a central core that contains the kitchenette and bathroom. Large facade openings, which can be fully closed by external sliding doors, allow the artist to transform the studio into a public gallery-like space or maintain privacy when needed. Inside, the walls and interior roof structure are painted white, providing a neutral backdrop for artistic work and maximizing natural light. The saw-textured folding of the exposed gabled roof remains visible in the studio, adding texture and shaping the atmosphere. The project's design prioritizes simple construction and materials, intended to create a sensual and harmonious space. The structure sits on a planed concrete ground slab, and the interior spaces feature simple, functional finishes. The thoughtful use of materials and a focus on both memory and function make the Atelierhaus a poetic space that is rooted in local tradition while being firmly built for the present.
