House R 128, Modern residential building in Degerloch, Germany.
House R 128 is a modern residential building in Degerloch with four transparent levels housed within a glass structure, allowing open living spaces with minimal internal partitions. The home relies on thermal storage and insulation to regulate temperatures, while solar panels generate its electricity.
The residence was designed and built by architect and engineer Werner Sobek in 2000. It sits on a steep hillside at Römerstrasse 128 in Stuttgart.
The residence demonstrates German engineering excellence through its computer-controlled systems, modular construction, and complete recyclability of all components.
The building is visible from outside and clearly displays its structure through the glass facade. Access can be challenging since the property sits on a steep hillside.
The building requires no connection to external energy sources for heating or electricity. All materials and components were selected so they can be completely recovered at the end of their lifespan.
