Spreewood - Conversion of a farmhouse
Built in 1914 in the Spreewald, around 80 kilometres south of Berlin, the house is part of a former farm consisting of a barn, two brick-built stable buildings and several wooden sheds. Due to the triangular shape of the plot, the buildings of the small farmstead are arranged in an atypical way. This is what makes the place so special and charming.
As the previously vacant farmhouse measuring around 130m² was in a poor condition, it underwent a general overhaul. In addition to the windows and the roof, the entire building technology was also modernised. The basement now serves as an accessible installation level.
On the ground floor, two existing rooms were combined to create a large eat-in kitchen. By partially opening up the old wooden beam ceiling, it was possible to create a kind of light moat, which provides additional daylight from the top floor to the kitchen area, which was previously considered too dark.
By removing the fixtures in the attic, a single connected living space was created upstairs that can be used flexibly. The two now free-standing chimneys divide the open-plan space into different areas, such as the living room, office, play area and master bedroom.
The floors are made of dark linoleum on the ground floor and solid Märkisch pine in the attic. A small pottery workshop has also been created on the veranda, an extension in front of the house on the courtyard side.
The project stands for a contemporary approach to increasingly scarce resources, in which it endeavours to achieve maximum spatial quality with a few manageable interventions in the existing building. At the same time, by selecting fewer, more robust materials - which do not have to be treated as hazardous waste later on - the aim is to create the most durable type of architecture possible.
