Masterbad im Floating House von Griffner ausgestattet von Duravit

The holistic bathroom furnishings from Duravit emphasize the natural ambience in the master bathroom. Washbasin, furniture, and bathtub are from the Qatego range by Studio F. A. Porsche.

Pre-fabricated buildings with unique residential design - is that possible? Yes, says Carinthian timber construction specialist Griffner, which it wants to prove with its "Floating House" designed by Studio F. A. Porsche. "Visionary design and pioneering architecture are combined in the Floating House with the promise of maximum healthy living," says Griffner owner Georg C. Niedersüß. The prefabricated building manufacturer relies exclusively on authentic and sustainable materials such as glass and regional wood. The design philosophy is also evident in the bathrooms, which are equipped with the Duravit Qatego bathroom series, also designed by Studio F. A. Porsche.

Continuous façade strips along with black glass tiles surrounding the entire ground floor epitomize the sophisticated aesthetics of the Floating House. As is typical for Studio F. A. Porsche, the focus is on functionality: a continuous light strip between the floors provides illumination, for instance, and gives the building the impression that it is floating. “For us, design is never just about aesthetics, but also always substance,” explained Thomas Hüttel, the studio’s design director.

Spacious bathroom ensemble

A design that is also continued in the bathrooms. A full-length glass door, for example, skillfully connects the daylight-infused master bathroom and the main bedroom to create a spacious unit. Light wooden floors and marbled wall tiles underscore the natural and calm ambience. The elegant washing-area from the Qatego series offers ample storage space thanks to the gentle shape of the above-counter basin and the practical niche in the vanity unit. The L-Cube series mirrors ensure optimum illumination. The Wave faucet range and the Starck T accessories round off the washing area and create space for individual options.
