The Energy House for families

When they visited the new Schwörer show home in Villingen-Schwenningen,

the Schmitt family were ready to move in right there and then, so taken

were they with the architecture, the family-friendly floor plan and the

smart built-in furniture ideas from the Schwörer cabinet design shop.

"Straight away we were in love with the large hallway with its enormous

amount of storage and space for the pram," explains mum. "An added room

and shower on the ground floor, open-plan living and kitchen space, a

large hallway big enough to play in - you noticed at every turn that the

planners had given plenty of thought to flexible usage in this house.

The many open-plan and linked rooms mean that there are no long

distances to cover and the house gives the impression of being twice as

big as it is," says her husband. Designed as an Efficient House 55, by

adding a photovoltaic system it can be optionally converted to an Energy

Plus house, which produces more energy than it uses.
