Based on the model of the lower bavarian landscape with its strewn settlements, six new buildings were arranged in the existing topographie of the so called 'hofgut hafnerleiten' in a very decent and unostentatious way.
Their plain perception and formal simplicity is derived from the image of small wooden heybarns, that come accross the local landscape.
The shell of the buildings - facades and rooves - was made with a vertical larch lathing, a local construction material creating a grey patina within time.
Contrasting images were an important design issue when forming the facade layer - wide openings versus closeness - generated by the interior reqirements.
The floorplans of the huts respond to their location within the site. finally six different floorplan solutions were developed. the exceptional interior concepts are tricking the visitors habits creating an adventurous sojourn.
The design of the surrounding landscape and the architectural shaping of the huts exterior spaces was accompanied by landscape architect Wolfgang Wagenhäuser.
