Transforming a traditional German farm house 🌿

A historical German Hallenhaus, a farming structure combining barn and living space, has been reimagined into a contemporary family home by Berlin based, Danish architect Sigurd Larsen

It’s one thing to conserve the interiors of a heritage-listed building, but it’s a rare feat to insert an entirely new structure within that building. And rarer still to be able to design that structure in such a way that, at a later date, it can be entirely disassembled leaving the original shell. Hats off, then, to the Berlin-based architect Sigurd Larsen for his remarkable sleight of hand with Dortmannhof – a Hallenhaus built in 1791 by the titular Dortmann family.

‘The family needed a larger space to rehearse music,’ Larsen says of the brief which also required a separate guest house with its own bathroom. In all, 80sqm were added to the original 270sqm footprint. ‘We spoke a lot about the existing spaces and how the family might use the many small rooms of the house. The lack of daylight was also a topic we worked into the architecture.’
