Text description provided by the architects. The brief was to build a spacious timber constructed private residence in the eastern Uckermark in rural Brandenburg. Small farm buildings dot the wide-open landscape in what is primarily agricultural land. For this project, we took up this theme of the lone homestead in an open landscape. The property evolves around a paved central courtyard as external extension to the living areas inside the house. Principal building and the annex are aligned longitudinally to the yard. The main residence is built around a large, central, open plan area, which serves as live-cook-work-lobby space. Zones are loosely defined by the solid implant of a sanitary block containing bathroom and guest WC. Four separate rooms link onto this central space on the southwesterly and northeasterly fronts.
