Project Overview
Schneehaus is a thoughtfully designed architectural and interior project that embodies a minimalist aesthetic while prioritizing the creation of moments of interest throughout the space. The name "Schneehaus" translates to "Snow House," reflecting the serene and tranquil environment that inspires the design philosophy. This project aims to merge contemporary design with natural elements, resulting in a harmonious living space that encourages mindfulness, simplicity, and connection to nature.
Design Approach
The guiding philosophy behind Schneehaus is centered around the idea that design should evoke emotions and foster experiences without overwhelming the senses. By utilizing a minimalist approach, the project aspires to create spaces that highlight the beauty of simplicity while integrating thoughtful design features that spark curiosity and engagement.
Design Elements
Natural Materials: Incorporate locally sourced materials that echo the natural environment, enhancing the aesthetic while providing warmth and texture. Wood, stone, and minimal metals will form the foundation of the architectural and interior palette.
Light and Shadow: Manipulate natural light to create dynamic spaces that shift throughout the day, emphasizing the interplay between light and shadow as a part of the overall design experience.
Functional Minimalism: Embrace a less-is-more philosophy by incorporating multifunctional furniture, storage solutions, and other elements that optimize utility while maintaining a clean and clutter-free aesthetic.
Focal Points and Moments of Interest: Highlight unique design elements such as a sculptural fireplace, bespoke furniture pieces, or strategically placed artwork that invite exploration and create narrative moments within the space.
Conclusion
Schneehaus represents a unique convergence of minimalist architecture and enriched interior design. By focusing on creating moments of interest and fostering a connection to the environment, this project aims to deliver an exceptional living experience that embodies both aesthetic beauty and functional simplicity. Through thoughtful design choices, Schneehaus will stand as a testament to the power of mindful living, inviting its occupants to discover the elegance in simplicity.

Challenges & Solutions
Uncovering the Original Form: The renovation aimed to strip away years of embellishments to reveal the building's original form. This process presented challenges in maintaining the structural integrity of the building while exposing its original architectural elements.
Balancing Light and Shadow: The use of open frames instead of doors created a sense of fluidity and connection between spaces. However, it also presented challenges in balancing natural light with shadow areas to create a comfortable and functional workspace.
Outcomes
The design outcome is a harmonious blend of modern simplicity and Indian heritage. The space offers a calming atmosphere, perfect for contemplation and creativity. The use of natural elements and locally sourced materials creates a sense of authenticity and connection to the environment.
