This concrete house on stilts is a family home in Austria by Vienna studio Wolfgang Tschapeller Architekt.
Called Single Family House St Joseph, the exposed concrete structure features irregular-shaped windows and sits on four supporting legs.
A shallow pit has been dug underneath the hovering building and can be utilised as a car port or storage space.
Despite the flat planes of the exterior shell, the interior space features a series of faceted walls, forming oddly-shaped rooms and windows.
The interior spaces are finished completely in white, with the exception of wooden flooring in some rooms and the treads of the staircase, which cantilever out of the wall.
The following information is from the architects:

The white form opens up and programs – makes habitable, if you wish – the concrete shell’s
inner area, which is 2165 cm long and approx. 515 cm high.

These are two interleaved forms, each with a different hardness and materiality.
