Berlin-based architecture studio J. Mayer H. Architects has completed a single family house in Stuttgart, Germany. The house is located amidst a conventional 1960s residential development, on a hillside with generous views of the neighboring valley. The client's brief specified that this view should be brought to life inside the building.

The architects determined the creation of a single family house distributed over an elevated ground floor harboring the hall, utility room and spa, while the first floor features an open floor plan with living, dining and kitchen areas, and a full height glazing opening views to the nearby valley. The bedrooms, dressing rooms and bathrooms are located in the second floor. Connecting the various levels is a sculptural, fluid staircase.
