Modern open concept Homestead with a central courtyard in Germany

in 2012, built by Annabau architects and Brandenburg, Germany is the Hauss Crussow a wood frame house, which consists of a primary object and outbuildings. The main house is a large open space, which is divided into zones of a living area, kitchen, study, hallway and entrance area. These zones are separated somewhat from each and every other by a solid central core of reinforced concrete prefabricated filigree slabs, owned by the main laundry room and powder blanks. Connected to the central concrete core is a wood fireplace for heating the property. The massive open area is supported by laminated wood beams that (29.25 feet) extend over a 9-meter range, and create an exciting pattern repeat with fibreboard ceiling tiles for the space between them. A Knotty Pine floor is clear coated to keep their all-natural two-tone coloring and introduce the structural impact of the nodes. The room is large, open and neutral, presenting the life of the windows on the west wall so that the surrounding countryside, a wall of green.

The shared long windows to allow support posts to align with the ceiling tie in an uninterrupted and continuous line.

The bank of windows from the Help structure set back, creating a continuous surface that can be used as a location to either sit and joy of or show prospect as a location. Below the window wall is a shelving program to keep the owner collection of books and decorative objects. The window wall has dropped even one that follows the line of the deep access ceiling. The posts and beams through the suspended ceiling to reduce. The optically dotted line of laminated posts its rejuvenating effect is not a predominant function.

hidden under the window shelves method and the central concrete core is the kitchen area. A bank of cupboards and two rows of open shelves define the storage area. The cabinets are operating horizontally and dressed in the same knotty pine as the bottom of the panels relative to the ground. The only wall galley kitchen is compact and small, but appears much larger because of the open idea of ​​development.

Although the bathroom is in a central concrete core encased kept light and vibrant through the skylights, each side of the ceiling line. The creation of deliveries from the area include the design and style functions and the exposed polymer concrete, combined with white fittings, this room offers an organic and Spa including sauna feeling.

The east side of the main development opens onto a courtyard in the comprehensive length of his wall. Right here, the prefabricated wooden posts also include a tapered attitude where the tips of the posts are wider than the bottom. Standing tall and proud, without an optical interruption, the beams turn into a sculptural function of the wall.

The massive central courtyard allows lots of light to, although maintaining enter the property complete privacy. Across the courtyard, the outbuildings are to be seen.

Back in the interior are treated both ends of the house symmetrically. From both of these view hunting South and the older view looking north, a door is visible, which is located to 1 of two rooms in each end of the property, leads.

The Knotty Pine soil prevails in the end room with the door open and the rooms seem without interruption. From this vantage point the walled galley kitchen is visible hidden behind the concrete core.

Just outside the wall of windows is a deck which is approximately 10 meters wide and runs the entire length of the wall. A corrugated cardboard to the outside forms an exciting contrast to the laminated timber posts and beams as properly as the wood decking and fencing.

The main house opens onto a large courtyard. Across the courtyard, the outbuildings and a closed area is the two spans between buildings are to be produced fenced with a large gate for access. Although the two buildings not to be symmetrical a sense of balance with their identical siding and roofing. .On The annex of an extended window of corrugated plastic can enter the organic light emitting diodes and allows for a view.

The corrugated box repeats the pattern of the corrugated-treatment on the outside of the building.

The annex is divided into 3 sections. The central part is exactly where the firewood is stored. Each individual section has a door, which connects it to the subsequent section. The wooden beams on the corrugated produce a visually pleasing appearance to the otherwise utilitarian space.

The target portions on the outbuildings are then treated differently from the rest of the structure. This finish walls are covered in rough larch planks

The corrugated plastic bar of the window on the east side of the outbuilding and the wall of windows on the west wall of the main development continues the visual harmony of the structures.

The brief was to develop a spacious wooden built in rural Brandenburg private residence in the eastern Uckermark was. I think the architects succeeded in the short through the creation of a 200-square-foot house, which is open included each in the idea and at the same time for privacy,
