The barn is located on a former agricultural property in the very south of Germany. Nevertheless some small scale farming, pottery and distillery takes place.
In 2020 construction was startet by the client family, who realized the whole building process much of their own, supported by family and friends. Some crucial steps were made made by local companies.
For construction materials we relied on local sources. Wood was taken from the client’s property, tuff stone was reused from the old building and clay for interior plastering was bought by a company nearby.
The concept is based on a „house-in-a-house“ design, as most parts of the facade, stonewalls and timber structures from the old barn had been reused.
