Alt wird neu - Residential house in Germany

A charming little house with a derelict property above the garage next door. What’s possible?

A Dutch couple (book seller and graphic designer) moved to the east of Germany. studioMERZ designed the new house and supervised the large-scale renovation.

The two properties were joined together, creating a labyrinth-like space. Mainly made of birch plywood, we realised a new living kitchen, mezzanine, bedroom and bathroom together with Boys With Wood. With new bookcases and other furniture, we created a new house. A new home.
