Private building Erp 1-3

Image

Country Power. If a cowshed makes a career for itself, this usually derives from the muck of creative developers who, despite many adversities, are able to realize what initially seems impossible. Developers near Cologne, Germany, have actually adapted former cowsheds to serve as unique lofts, and have done so while taking the environment into consideration. The result is great scope of space with a special ambience, highlighted by old pillars and rafters. Alas, where there was once a wooden ladder leading to the hayloft, there is now a concrete staircase to the bedroom level. The food silo has transformed into a big kitchen with a modern cooking island. 14 new skylight windows have been installed to ensure adequate light in this spacious residential landscape. And, placed perfectly in the middle of the bathroom is the free-standing Philippe Starck bathtub – the ultimate touch to such an exceptional living space.
