The apartment complex was built in the context of the urban
expansion which began in the 1990s. The structure’s spectacular
hillside location in Telfs affords stunning views of the
mountains to the south and north. Adjoining two rows of
north-south oriented apartment buildings by Hubert Riess
– also built of wood – Kaufmann’s structure extends from east
to west, featuring access galleries and a north-facing staircase
akin to that in the “Ölzbündt” complex. The building contains
twelve apartments, running the gamut from one bedroom
apartments to the west, to three bedroom apartments facing
east. Medium size apartments are located in the center of the
building, extending through it from the balconies on the south
side to the galleries on the north. While the developer in
Wolfurt opted for ver tically laid larch facades, this structure
adapts to the pattern of the Riess building and features horizontal
cladding.
The north side of the building is 1.5 stories
lower, with the basement made of exposed concrete, and is
programmed for communal uses: central heating unit, dryer
room, storage room for bicycles and baby carriages, basement
storage units and the garage.
