Holiday home Mini­malhaus Uckermark

On the edge of the village of Herz­felde, between wide fields and the forest-lined Dol­gensee lake, lies a holiday home that takes up as little space as pos­sible while offering maximum scope. Instead of scaled-down areas and dimen­sions, a clever concept was designed for the Mini­malhaus Uckermark that makes optimal use of every cen­ti­metre. With 60 square metres for up to six people, two separate bed­rooms, a central shower room and an open-plan kitchen-diner. Compact yet com­for­table. Full of light, air and views of nature.

The clear, simple shape of the building follows the course of the sun. Well insu­lated and heated by sun­light and the fire­place. The large living room with kitchen island, dining area and sofa opens to the east, south and west, with the two ele­vated double bed­rooms on the north wall. Here, too, there is a view of the coun­tryside. Thanks to large sliding glass doors, the terrace becomes a second living room.

To remain fle­xible and adap­table, all interior spaces are reduced to the essen­tials. With light­weight fur­niture made of three-layer panels and mul­ti­func­tional fix­tures that can be enlarged or reduced in size, or folded out to create addi­tional tables and work sur­faces. Like a stage set that can be rear­ranged again and again as needed. Even the third double bed appears and dis­ap­pears as if by magic. This is because the height dif­fe­rence between the living and sleeping areas pro­vides all kinds of storage space.

All floors and fix­tures are made of robinia wood. Its red tones go well with the clay-plas­tered walls, light grey paintwork and rough shell lime­stone in the bathroom. A har­mo­nious concept that makes the wild garden and the ter­minal moraine land­scape outside the windows shine even more intensely.

What to do

Hiking and cycling tours around Lake Dolgen, over rolling hills or through extensive forests, bathing and swimming in Lake Dolgen, which is only a short, idyllic walk away, fishing, boat trips, bird watching, excursions to surrounding villages, regional markets or Templin.
