A Home with a Dialogue Between Concrete and Timber

Located in the quiet village of Pähl, Germany, the House in Mitterfischen by Florian Nagler Architekten is a study in purposeful simplicity and precise material pairing. Built in 2020, this 255 m² residence focuses on clarity—both in spatial organization and construction logic.

From an architect’s point of view, what stands out is the honest expression of materials. The ground floor, garage, and connector volumes are constructed entirely from unreinforced infra-lightweight concrete. This choice creates monolithic forms with soft edges and natural textures, giving the house a grounded, almost sculptural presence. Above, the structure transitions seamlessly to solid wood construction—walls, ceilings, and the entire roof—crafted from insulating timber elements that bring warmth and lightness.

A large two-story room anchors the home, providing generous vertical space that’s counterbalanced by smaller, functional rooms arranged on both levels. The interiors emphasize natural light and modest detailing—exposed beams, open shelving, and uncoated surfaces highlight the craftsmanship without embellishment.
