The restoration of the historic farmhouse “Mareinhof” is a bold intervention, while at the same time showing respect for the historic building. The interior has been changed radically, thus creating spacious rooms filled with natural light; the exterior of the building, however, has been left untouched. The new living area boasts a double-height space, allowing natural light to flood into the space through its glazed gable, and exposing the original wooden beams and added steel structure that now characterise this area. In the new attic, a terrace embedded into the sloping roof and custom-made furniture give new functions to this previously unused space.
