Holiday home Zuhaus Frei­weidach

Farm­house rel­oaded: In the Upper Bavarian town of Mar­quart­stein, Philipp Möller Archi­tekten have refur­bished a farm ensemble and con­verted it into three indi­vidual resi­dential units. Each part of the trio has retained its inde­pendent cha­racter. The 250-year-old Chiemgau farm­house and the barn are used as private apart­ments, while the Zuhaus is rented out as a vacation home.
The detached Zuhaus — formerly a coach house, wash­house and bake­house — is situated against a mountain backdrop with sweeping views to the south, west and north. The building takes up the cha­rac­te­ristic fea­tures of the farm­house and barn: on one side it is ren­dered white with tra­di­tional shutters, on the other side it has a dark wooden facade and large windows. An extension expands the living space of the small house, con­necting it to the sur­rounding land­scape with large ope­nings. A straight­forward design voca­bulary and the res­trained colour scheme cha­rac­terise the inte­riors.
Entering the Zuhaus, one directly steps into the into the former coach house section. Flowing material tran­si­tions give the room, which extends up to the roof, a generous ambience. The firwood floor is con­tinued as cladding on the wall and sloping roof. Floor-to-ceiling built-in units at the front and back end take advantage of the space all the way up to the roof. The door to the study is dis­guised as a closet door. Only the cen­trally posi­tioned work unit with a stainless steel top at the end of the room indi­cates its use as a kitchen. Other appli­ances and utensils are hidden in the built-in units. 
All other func­tional areas are accessed from the kitchen: dining area and living room, a small study and a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor; two more bed­rooms and a bathroom in the attic. As a special “treat”, the master bedroom has a 20-square-metre root terrace with a mountain view. The house also includes a terrace and a garden of about 1,000 square metres, which merges seam­lessly into the fields.
