die kleine Acht

On the outskirts of Lindenhagen in the Uckermark region of north-eastern Brandenburg, Berlin architect Thomas Kröger has converted a 1950s estate house into a fantastic holiday home. The extraordinary transformation of this compact saddle-roofed house with its square contour is evident from the outside: large windows open the building out to the landscape, the roof features two huge dormers, and the façade is divided into several plastered sections.

kleines Vulkaneifelhaus

Kleines Vulkaneifelhaus is a retreat for two in the midst of the unspoilt Eifel landscape in northwestern Rhineland-Palatinate. Situated on a steep slope, this timber house, clad in black charcoal planks, sits atop a plinth of fair-faced concrete. The house appears closed off from the entrance side, and even rather small – an effect created by its few window openings and the low roof on this side.
