German studio Architekten Martenson und Nagel Theissen have designed this five-storey house in Tübingen, Germany. The grey facade is clad in rubber, which meets with raised seams, accentuating the envelope of this membrane-covered roof. The interior is clad with exposed softwood, forming an open living area on the ground floor, and wrapping up the stairs to create the bedrooms above. The house is fairly adaptable and can change according to the occupiers needs, for example two separate tenants could live in the building as there is a staircase to the first floor. This has been a trend that has been increasing with popularity in new build houses, does it create a warm, natural look for an interior, or are architects forsaking sustainability in favour of image?
