postheadericon How greenhouse designed by renowned architect and designer Kai Stain

 renowned architect and designer Kai StainHas recently been completed near Vienna to build a stunning glass house designed by renowned architect and designer Kai Stain to live and work on it and it is also a marketing tool for your design business. It is located on a wooded hillside with a spectacular view over the city of Vienna, 5 km away.

The architect wanted to make a simple yet firm commitment to design, as well as ventilated facades. To achieve this and to dramatize the building, Kai Stain used large glazed areas and 462 m2 of Trespass Meteor black enclosure, an unusual color for Austrian houses. The board offers a smooth and shiny appearance of polished black marble but much warmer. The shiny surface also enhances the home with the reflection of the trees and the environment.

The reputation of Kai Stain design, its architecture and its renowned furniture is based on the symbiosis between aesthetics and functionality. In addition, this is reflected in this two-story house with a great height from floor to ceiling, triple glazed facade and contemporary furniture inside. The house also includes the latest in heating technology consisting of an air exchange system and extraction of energy from deep in the ground.

The architect chose Meteor plates along their appearance and proven performance. This enclosure system is cost efficient environmentally friendly and sustainable. The boards retain their appearance, largely, for many years and the smooth surface will only require minimal maintenance.
The general appearance of the home with Meteor plates and glass facades is like a black pearl that glows in the landscape, and shines at night under floodlights.
