For almost two years, the old farmhouse with a stable and tennis section in the Rosenheim area was converted into a residential loft with little practice. See the pictures of the "Riedering" project and be amazed.
Loft living in the farmhouse: from old = " make new
An old farmhouse and 21 months of renovation: a great achievement for a gross floor area of 766 square meters! The Questarchitekten project received the German Design Award 2018 for this.
In the former cowshed there is now a small practice, the brick cap ceiling of which could be preserved, thus contributing to this special flair.
The family practice is in the old cowshed of the farmhouse.

Farmhouse renovation: the living area
Where the equipment and hay storage used to be is now the living area. Access to the apartment is via an old tennis bridge on the upper floor. The internal connection was integrated into the old feed silo as a spiral staircase made of raw steel.

Loft in the old farmhouse: the second floor
Here are the kitchen, dining room and living area.
The entire living area on the upper floor is kept completely open and therefore looks very spacious.

The bathroom, bedrooms and other rooms are set up as a room-in-room system in order to get the overall impression of the roof structure.
Additional glass elements were installed in the ceiling of the bathroom. So you have daylight from all directions and in the evening a view of the starry sky.

A ten-meter-long sliding window allows a wonderful view of the mountain panorama of Chiemgau. The view appears free through the upstream and cantilevered balcony.

In the middle of the large lounge area, an air space provides a spatial connection downwards. Glazing in the roof above enables natural daylight - right down to the ground floor. Through this air space, the old grain silo, which stands as a sculpture in the room as a witness to the former use, can be experienced in its full height.
A new stove was also installed in the dining area. Only the access to the bathroom and bedrooms has been separated - the rest is kept completely open.

In some places, the outer wall made of quarry stones was left unplastered.

On the ground floor of the old farmhouse there are guest rooms, guest bathrooms and other side rooms. A library on the second floor offers an exit to the terrace and the garden, where a tractor garage used to be. Here, as in some places in the house, the outer wall made of stone was left unplastered. In the interior of the ground floor, the screed underlines the raw surface design.
The facade of the renovated farmhouse partly consists of old wood cladding.

The old wood cladding not only ensures good insulation. Visually, it adapts perfectly to the large window elements. This farmhouse renovation does not want to be traditional and romantic, but rather to correspond to the contemporary living and living ideas of the residents.
