Holiday home Seedorf 360°

Sailing and leisure boats line the long natural harbour of Seedorf, a his­toric fishing village between Neu­en­si­e­nersee and Greifs­walder Bodden in the south-east of Rügen, sur­rounded by pro­tected coun­tryside. The 360° Seedorf holiday home is located on the highest point of the village — with a pan­o­ramic view and exciting back­story. Its shape and design are inspired by nothing less than a cir­cum­na­vi­gation of the globe. After five years and 360 degrees of lon­gitude sailed, archi­tects Thomas Arnold and Birgit Klauck have created a house that borrows ele­ments from ship­building, anchors itself in the regional building tra­dition with its thatched roof and gathers the family’s expe­ri­ences under one roof.

The unusual archi­tecture of the house was influenced by the local fisher­men’s ‘boat stores’ — boats that had been turned upside down into shelters. With its larch wood façade and the partly thatched, partly green roof, the building blends in well.

Inside, it is not only the visible beech wood con­s­truction that is remi­niscent of the frames of boats. To give each room a dif­ferent per­spective, the shape of the building was aligned with the visual axes. The extensive living room invites you to spend cosy hours on the sofa with its wood-burning stove, the long table offers space for dining tog­ether, and the open-plan kitchen looks out directly onto the lake, illu­mi­nated by the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening. The two double bed­rooms on the ground floor both have their own shower-bath, which is sepa­rated by a floor-to-ceiling work of art by Scottish artist Louise Gibson made of coloured resin blocks into which arte­facts and found objects from sailing around the world have been cast. A beech wood staircase with dia­go­nally stretched sail lines leads to the upper floor. To stay in the maritime context, the third double bedroom resembles a ship’s cabin, with a lookout over Seedorf harbour and the bay.

The garden offers wild flower meadows, fruit trees and herb beds with pan­o­ramic views from the marina across the lagoon-like bay of Having, the Greifswald Bodden and Lake Neu­ensien to the forest area with the Granitz hunting lodge.
