S3 City Villa is a minimalist house located in Tübingen, Germany, designed by Steimle Architekten. The sculptural shape of the building opens itself to the Neckar river valley and its views. The volume and its clear edges create a sharply defined shape consciously emerging as an independent structure from its surroundings. Being rather closed to the neighbor houses, the building is concentrated to the panoramic views of the Swabian Alb hillside.

Articulated by precise joints the polished concrete body is lined with precisely positioned anodized aluminum panels in the transition zones between structure and exterior. These back folded recessions take reference to the different levels of the topographic contour and transmit the landscape to the interior. Like this the garden is accessible from all three levels.
