Holiday home Hello

The Berg­strasse-Odenwald mountain range stretches between the Rhine, Main and Neckar rivers — a diverse natural and cul­tural land­scape cha­rac­te­rised by dense forests, small towns and a wealth of history. When you reach the little town of Erbach, you are greeted by a magni­ficent park, which is not only home to a Met­zendorf villa, but also to a modern new structure that was ori­gi­nally built as an office building and has now been con­verted into a holiday home. Here, mighty pines, Douglas firs and swamp oaks tower into the sky, basalt paths lead through bushes, ferns and shrubs and his­toric sand­stone pillars point the way. In order to pre­serve the scenery of the stately villa and idyllic garden with its old trees, the building is sub­or­dinate to its sur­roun­dings in terms of height and colour. Clear lines, geo­metric shapes, large windows, steel and con­crete cha­rac­terise the compact archi­tecture.

The ground floor and basement are cha­rac­te­rised by con­crete as the material for walls, cei­lings and floors, while the upper floor was built as a wooden structure — including an acoustic ceiling made of silver fir. There is one bedroom and bathroom per floor, which, in con­trast to the trans­parent living spaces, promise privacy. On the upper floor, guests can either relax in the living room or plan their next hike through the Odenwald in the study. The addi­tional kit­chenette is a relic from the office days.

A steel staircase along the huge window front leads back down to the ground floor, with an open-plan kitchen and two dining and seating areas. The oak sliding doors to the bedroom can be closed for more privacy. From the dining area, another sliding glass door leads out onto the terrace and into the densely over­grown garden.
