An Earthy Cottage.

Location Brandenburg · Germany
Type Residential Cottage

Inside and out, a part of the woods.
A cottage where the heartbeat aligns with the trees.

Starting point

An estate kept still by the passing of time, hidden deep in the Brandenburg forest, once a store for farming equipment and hay. The premise was set before the survey began: inside and out, a part of the woods.

Daybed with sheepskin and patterned cushions against a clay wall

Turning point

We let the existing building set the terms. We worked with local trades and sourced materials regionally where possible.

Attic under the timber roof with a rope net, patterned pouf and wicker basket
Oval dining table with wooden chairs under amber glass pendants, tall windows onto the garden
Wooden stool with a ceramic vase beside the bed, against a grasscloth wall covering
Modern rustic kitchen with exposed beams and round dining table

"Be it on long summer nights or cozy winter evenings, the feeling of being part of the mighty forest follows you inside and out. The own heartbeat seems to align with the rhythm of the trees."

Minimalist kitchen with mint cabinets and farmhouse sink

Result

A house that serves an entire family and works as a high-end rental retreat at the same time. Wooden beams, woven textures, mint-green cabinetry. What stood for decades as a barn now stands for decades as a home.
