Xscape Architecture as a Process In Lower Carinthia, after a decade of planning, a sculptural plus energy house has been built in harmony with nature. The black structure frames the view of the Karawanken Mountains and combines modern design with natural thermal properties. Thanks to 15,000 kWh of solar energy, concrete core activation, and extensive insulation, the building is energy self-sufficient. To avoid further compacting the ground, the structure rests on piles. A statement of zeitgeist, attitude, and precision.
