Designed with the expressive power of a sculpture, the Chienbergreben private house in Gelterkinden follows the slope of the land, on the border between the town and the agricultural area.

The underground structures were built with the Drytech Tank System, which made them impermeable to both groundwater and slope water.

The adoption of the Drytech System, which provides for a single waterproof concrete structure, has allowed the project to respect the figure that defines it architecturally even in the underground part.

The entire structure of the building is in fact made of exposed concrete with disposable horizontal formwork: inside as well as outside.
