Holiday home Rote Scheune

Viewed from the street, the Red Barn in Fergitz on the west bank of the lake Obe­ru­ckersee can be mistaken for one of the typical agri­cul­tural buil­dings in the area. The con­version into a holiday home only becomes apparent at second glance. The recon­s­truction of this old barn was con­ceived by Thomas Kröger. The Berlin architect had already achieved acclaim for two earlier pro­jects in the Uckermark region. The long barn – an old cowshed with thick stone walls, small upper windows and large wooden doors – has been pre­served as it was on the outside. Inside, however, the building has been gutted and com­pletely res­truc­tured.

The holiday apartment for four people is situated in the western part of the house. The ent­rance hall, with its rough wooden walls and ancient stone floor, recalls its former use as a barn. The spa­cious, airy living room down­s­tairs boasts an impressive ceiling height of seven meters. Through a window opening in one of the two ups­tairs bed­rooms you can look down into the living room. The apartment even fea­tures a private garden acces­sible from the kitchen area.

The main house on the eastern side can also be rented as a holiday home for up to eleven people. The rooms are grouped on two levels sur­rounding the central hall of the barn. Otherwise unheated, this space con­nects inside and out, and pro­vides light for the living rooms grouped around it. On the ground floor, raised a few steps, is the living, dining and kitchen area. The wooden pyramid above the dining table is a light shaft to bring natural light to this area. Five Bed­rooms, two bath­rooms and a loggia are on the first floor. Glazed walls reveal the hall’s wooden sup­porting structure and a monu­mental fire­place. When the large barn doors are open, the boun­daries between indoor and outdoor space dis­appear.
