Vienna-based studio Propeller Z has designed the Plak Residence. Completed in 2011, this four story contemporary home is located in the western outskirts of Vienna, Austria.

"The entry on the ground floor welcomes family and guest with a sculptural staircase leading up to one of the bedrooms and the office space.

A mirrored wall reflects the elegant wooden shapes of the staircase and everyone can enjoy its unusual geometric shape while heading upstairs.

The first floor home office is flooded with natural light and encapsulated in a part glass part bookshelf division. The upper floors include living and entertaining zones and the modern kitchen - all of these benefit from natural light and splendid views.

Terraces with sliding glass doors open up the interiors to the outdoor space, while dark-framed windows capture views of the neighborhood and the passing of seasons."
