This is wellness at its best! A spacious patio invites you to spend some special time outdoors \u2013 most of all in the evening when you can enjoy the magical play of colours at sunset. All the while, the pool beckons you to cool off in a sophisticated atmosphere.\r\n\r\nIt is this unique beach house feeling of freedom and nature which Definti Brunner Architekten bring to Switzerland. In Uitikon, on the western side of the Uetliberg mountain, they created a modern single-family home in the style of a beach house. This dream home extends over two levels: On the upper floor, the family enjoys an unobstructable view of the surrounding landscape. But the real highlight of the house is hidden on the ground floor. This is where HIRT kinetics retractable windows connect the living space with the garden, which descends terrace-like and also houses a pool.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\" top_margin_tablet=\"60\" top_margin_phone=\"30\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\"_self\" column_position=\"default\" el_class=\"bigh2\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\"2\/3\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\" offset=\"vc_col-xs-12\"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"20px\" column_direction=\"default\" column_direction_tablet=\"default\" column_direction_phone=\"default\" text_align=\"left\" row_position=\"default\" row_position_tablet=\"inherit\" row_position_phone=\"inherit\" overflow=\"visible\" pointer_events=\"all\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" advanced_gradient_angle=\"0\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"small_desktop\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\" gradient_type=\"default\" offset=\"vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-6\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"7280\" image_size=\"full\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"Fade In\" animation_easing=\"default\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" img_link_large=\"yes\" border_radius=\"none\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\" max_width=\"100%\" max_width_mobile=\"default\"][vc_column_text el_class=\"bildtext\"]The house and garden are characterised by clear design elements and focus on minimalist elegance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" advanced_gradient_angle=\"0\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"small_desktop\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\" gradient_type=\"default\" offset=\"vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-6\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"7284\" image_size=\"full\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"Fade In\" animation_easing=\"default\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" img_link_large=\"yes\" border_radius=\"none\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\" max_width=\"100%\" max_width_mobile=\"default\"][vc_column_text el_class=\"bildtext\"]Multiple levels open up the hillside property.

On the ground floor, Definti Brunner Architekten, together with the client, opted for something truly special: retractable fronts by HIRT kinetics. At the touch of a button, these fronts sink into the ground as if weightless, allowing the inside and outside to merge in a unique way. In fine weather, the living space is enlarged many times over and seems to extend all the way to the horizon, where on a clear day Lake Zurich \u2013 the \u201csea of Switzerland\u201d \u2013 glistens.\r\n\r\nOn warm days, when the window fronts are lowered, a cooling breeze wafts through the rooms, bringing with it the chirping of birds. And in less splendid weather, the retractable fronts simply stay closed. Thanks to perfect pneumatic seals, neither draughts nor heavy rain stand a chance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" column_direction=\"default\" column_direction_tablet=\"default\" column_direction_phone=\"default\" text_align=\"left\" row_position=\"default\" row_position_tablet=\"inherit\" row_position_phone=\"inherit\" overflow=\"visible\" pointer_events=\"all\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" el_class=\"producttext\" advanced_gradient_angle=\"0\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\"1\/1\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\" gradient_type=\"default\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h3>A beach house in Uitikon: consciously thinking outside the box<\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1734273135530{margin-top: 20px !important;}\" el_class=\"seo\" text_direction=\"default\"]In the villa in Uitikon, four HIRT kinetics SF 90 retractable fronts were installed, each 4 metres long, 2.67 metres high and weighing 545 kilograms. Additionally, they take up the shape of the property at large, forming a 90\u00b0 corner. Thus, on two sides of the house, they provide direct access to the garden with its spacious, all-round wooden patio.\r\n\r\nAt HIRT kinetics, maximum perfection is the order of the day as \u201cengineering made in Switzerland\u201d obliges. The HIRT planners keep an eye on even the smallest detail: Thus, the retractable fronts disappear seamlessly into the ground so that no barrier remains to mar the impression. To achieve this, they come with inconspicuous floor-sealing or gap-reducing caps that are perfectly matched to the floor in material and colour. Likewise, the installation profiles on the walls and ceiling are integrated into the design so that they, too, are hardly noticeable. Additionally, HIRT kinetics retractable fronts can be easily incorporated into a Smart Home system which allows you to raise and lower them simply via smartphone or tablet.\r\n\r\nLet the magic of HIRT kinetics inspire you to bring light, air, and nature back into your home. HIRT kinetics retractable fronts promise a special lifestyle full of freedom, clarity, and boundless openness. Make an appointment for a consultation today. The HIRT planners will be happy to explain to you in detail the many advantages and infinite possibilities of movable architecture.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\" top_margin_tablet=\"60\" top_margin_phone=\"30\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\"_self\" column_position=\"default\" el_class=\"bigh2\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\"1\/2\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\" offset=\"vc_col-xs-12\"][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" column_direction=\"default\" column_direction_tablet=\"default\" column_direction_phone=\"default\" text_align=\"left\" row_position=\"default\" row_position_tablet=\"inherit\" row_position_phone=\"inherit\" overflow=\"visible\" pointer_events=\"all\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" advanced_gradient_angle=\"0\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\"1\/1\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\" gradient_type=\"default\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"7288\" image_size=\"full\" animation_type=\"entrance\" animation=\"Fade In\" animation_easing=\"default\" animation_movement_type=\"transform_y\" hover_animation=\"none\" alignment=\"\" img_link_large=\"yes\" border_radius=\"none\" box_shadow=\"none\" image_loading=\"default\" max_width=\"100%\" max_width_mobile=\"default\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=\"default\" column_direction=\"default\" column_direction_tablet=\"default\" column_direction_phone=\"default\" text_align=\"left\" row_position=\"default\" row_position_tablet=\"inherit\" row_position_phone=\"inherit\" overflow=\"visible\" pointer_events=\"all\"][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\" top_margin=\"-10\" top_margin_phone=\"0\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\"_self\" overflow=\"visible\" advanced_gradient_angle=\"0\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\"1\/1\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\" gradient_type=\"default\"][vc_column_text el_class=\"bildtext\"]The view is spectacular and unobstructed.

Their answer is as simple as it is ingenious. With HIRT kinetics, they put buildings in motion. Massive architectural elements disappear as if by magic. Windows, fences, and even entire walls are given a completely new twist.\r\n\r\nHIRT kinetics retractable fronts do not have the same classic suspension as normal windows or doors. Instead, they stand on a finely balanced supporting structure that is raised and lowered by a quiet motor. Pneumatic seals ensure optimal thermal insulation for the large panorama panes. Nothing is left to be desired with regards to safety, either: Triple glazing, bullet resistance, and nano-sealing are only a few examples of what is possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" column_margin=\"default\" column_direction=\"default\" column_direction_tablet=\"default\" column_direction_phone=\"default\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" row_border_radius=\"none\" row_border_radius_applies=\"bg\" overflow=\"visible\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" bg_image_animation=\"none\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_tablet=\"inherit\" column_padding_phone=\"inherit\" column_padding_position=\"all\" column_element_direction_desktop=\"default\" column_element_spacing=\"default\" desktop_text_alignment=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_backdrop_filter=\"none\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" column_link_target=\"_self\" column_position=\"default\" gradient_direction=\"left_to_right\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" width=\"1\/1\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" animation_type=\"default\" bg_image_animation=\"none\" border_type=\"simple\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][nectar_global_section id=\"6997\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","footnotes":"","_nectar_header_subtitle":"Uitikon","_nectar_project_excerpt":"Uitikon","rank_math_title":"Beach house in the mountains | HIRT kinetics","rank_math_description":"In a beach house, summer is at home almost all year round \u2013 even in the mountains.
