Carinthian star architect Günther Domenig set new accents with his stone house on Lake Ossiach. The stone house looks like an independent, whimsical landscape of stone, glass and concrete. For 31 years, Domenig assembled various cubes, acute angles, pyramids and crystalline elements into a house structure.
With the realisation of a footbridge (1982) on a narrow lakeside plot in Steindorf on Lake Ossiach in Carinthia, the construction of a manifesto began more than a quarter of a century ago.
With the precise language of architecture, Günther Domenig has been articulating messages there ever since, messages that are disseminated and continually quoted in the metropolises of the world. The landscape forms and their characteristics have left their mark on the architect.
Two motifs form the design basis of the "Stone House" project:
the landscape, mountain and rock formations, the transition from rock to vegetation zones and erosion phenomena
the regional architecture, archetypal architectural forms as well as the decaying architecture from the rural area.
