House SO / Finckh Architekten

the small, slightly sloping plot of land, just 9 m wide and 33 m long, is situated in a village-like, small-scale area halfway up the city Esslingen am Neckar, 15 kilometers east of Stuttgart. for decades, the young-at-heart retired couple wanted to build a carport on the premises. when it became known that this plot of land was construction land, they fulfilled the dream of their own small, modest home. since as senior citizens could not get a loan from a bank, their wish of a "home where they can be on vacation every day" had to be realized with a very small budget.
