Former farm house turned into contemporary housing

Although the former farm house was in very good shape, the architects decided that the new building will work as a new separate unit from the structural point of view. It is inserted into the existing barn, it stands on its own foundations and the original kiln has become only its cover. The original farm building in the side wing had to me completely replaced. The original material was reused.

The spatial, material and functional design of the house is influenced by the original construction completely. Not only the outer envelope corresponds to the old building, but also all structural elements. None of the original element has been removed or replaced

Some wooden parts of the former farm building remained in their original position. Elswhere, they stepped back towards the interior and became the facade of the new building. On the west side of the facade, this stepping back created a covered terrace. The original century-old roofing was on some spots supplemented with new glass tiles. Daylight managed to get into the interior through high windiw openings and a semi-permeable part of the facade, which was created by perforating the wooden cladding and turning some of the facade panels.
