The large family room splits duties as a sports lounge, media room, and wet bar. The double volume space was partly a result of the integration of the architecture into the hillside, local building codes, and also creates a very unique spacial relationship with the entry and lower levels. Enhanced sound proofing and pocketing sliding doors help to control the noise levels for adjacent bedrooms and living spaces.

Haussicht

„Haussicht“ von Baufritz als konstruktive Herausforderung Design meets Baukunst Wer wirklich Neues schaffen möchte, muss ausgefahrene Wege verlassen und bereit sein, ein Wagnis einzugehen. Das war für Helmut Holl, Projektleiter und ehemaliger Geschäftsführer von Anfang an klar, und rückblickend konstatiert er: „Das Projekt Haussicht, die konsequente Verbindung von Architektur, Design, - und unseren ökologischen Wertevorstellungen war für das gesamte Team ein Abenteuer“. Das Abenteuer wurde gemeistert. Das heißt, beide Seiten – in persona Designer Alfredo Häberli und Architekt Stephan Rehm – waren offen füreinander, bereit den anderen zu verstehen und auch fremde Ideen in die eigene Denkwelt aufnehmen. „Wir wollten Grenzgänger sein, Dinge neu durchdenken und Möglichkeiten ausloten“, sagt Rehm. „Wir suchten Wege, eine neue Holzbausprache zu entwickeln, den Konstruktionen Leichtigkeit zu geben und beispielsweise die Statik spürbar zu machen“, erklärt Häberli, dem man nachsagt, beim Designen mit dem Herzen zu denken. Entstanden ist ein Gebäude, das keine Kulissenarchitektur zeigt, sondern echten, sichtbaren Holzbau. Design und Architektur fließen ineinander, was bei der neuartigen Fassade aus haushoher Vertikalverschalung („Häberli-Schalung“) ebenso deutlich wird wie bei den üppigen Glasflächen mit schlanken Holzständern dazwischen und der hinterlüfteten Hartbedachung aus Blech, die die Robustheit eines geneigten Daches mit Flachdacharchitektur verbindet. Ökologischer Holzsystembau Rein praktisch ging es auch darum, gemeinsam Lösungen für eine moderne, ökologische Holzsystembauweise zu entwickeln, die trotz standardisierten Details eine freie architektonische Gestaltung ermöglicht. Fazit: Die Ideen und Designvorgaben konnten von Baufritz bis auf Nuancen konstruktiv umgesetzt werden und fließen in die reguläre Häuserproduktion ein. Wobei es für Häberli, der üblicherweise kleinere Gegenstände wie Trinkgläser oder Sitzmöbel gestaltet ein echtes Aha-Erlebnis gab: In diesem Fall sah er seine Schöpfung erst nach dem Bau 1:1 und in voller Größe.

Home Bar Design Ideas with Brown Cabinets and Light Hardwood Floors

A home bar can provide a spot of indulgence for one, or be a central hub you gather round when entertaining. Whether you’re thinking of planning a wine bar, outdoor bar, or just making room for a bar cart, browse these images for inspiration, and ask yourself the following questions.

Where should you position your home bar?

The most popular location for a home bar is in or near the kitchen or dining room. If you prefer entertaining outdoors, however, an outdoor bar can be a dream addition to any Aussie backyard – and imagine the luxury of swimming up to your very own pool bar! If you're building from scratch, a landscape architect can help you work out the ideal design for your space.

What type of home bar is best suited to your needs?

Home bars come in all shapes and sizes, and with an array of practicalities. Utilise an awkward corner with a cabinet bar; maximise floor space with a trunk bar, which unfolds to create a bar counter; or conveniently turn any space in your house into a bar room with a mobile bar such as a fun bar cart. If you prefer a more grandiose option, or all the amenities of a real bar, you can’t go past a built-in home bar.

What home bar functionalities do you want to include?

Decide how you will use the bar and whether you will need sinks, storage and refrigeration. Including a sink in your home bar design is a practical addition if you choose a location far from your kitchen. If you’re a wine connoisseur, you may want to include additional wine storage, whereas a mini bar fridge within the kitchen may need no extra storage at all. Home bars that will be used infrequently – perhaps an outdoor bar in the cooler months – may not need refrigeration and could suffice with large ice buckets.

What bar furniture will you need?

Seating is essential to any home bar and will impact the style of your home bar design. Bar stools, for example, come in an array of materials and styles, from traditional wooden bar stools, to resort- and industrial-style stools. Storage is another important element, so look for a liquor cabinet and wine racks. Next, if you are creating a freestanding station, you will need a bar table, which are taller and shallower than regular dining tables. Check that your stools and table height work together before you finalise any home bar designs.

How can you personalise your bar design?

Bar tools and accessories are an easy and interchangeable way to personalise your bar design. You may want to create a wine bar, tavern-style bar or retro bar, so look for wine glasses and tumblers, for instance, that will help carry this style. Coasters, bar mats or signage will help you to further achieve your desired look.
