Re-used
Building must become more sustainable. Recycling building materials helps to conserve natural resources, avoid waste and thus reduce our ecological footprint. Circularity in construction should therefore become the norm, and not just in the field of heritage conservation.
With this in mind, the old roof tiles of the stable building were carefully and cautiously covered. They were then blasted and cleaned in the self-built holding device so that they could be reused later.

Curing old sins
... or how the wrong mortar can cause damage to timber framing.
In the 1950s, the compartments were lined with simple red bricks using cement mortar. The poor moisture-dissipating properties of the cement mortar is not to be recommended for half-timbered buildings.
The old compartments are now being demolished and professionally refilled with dry ice-cleaned stones from a former barn using the correct clay-shell lime mortar.
Not just right, but also more beautiful!

Furniture construction II

The self-built concrete block gives the kitchen a special touch. Honest materials, clear colors and shapes define the architecture of the small semi-detached house in Reppenstedt.
Are you looking for a temporary home...?
