1890s Swedish Barn Becomes Loft-Stylish Family Home

 architecture

Buero Philipp Moeller  architects have designed a charming revitalisation of a farmhouse in Moorenweis, Germany.

The old farmhouse was built in the Fürstenfeldbruck district built in the 1890s.

Now it brings a very special loft-style living experience for a lucky family of four.

The industrial modern style works perfectly with the equally straightforward 1890s barn construction techniques.

Huge sturdy timbers are completely exposed, revealing their system of construction.

Appealing parallels between the 19th and 21st century are offered in the steam punk ironwork chosen to make chandeliers, the elegant yet practical chairs and the super wide floor planks.

A farmhouse kitchen is perfectly executed, neither cloyingly sentimental nor brutally at odds with the old barn’s history.

These rooms on the ground floor were retained in their original layout, just opening up some interior walls to let more light in.

Where the decidedly modern fixtures like these sinks are employed, they are balanced on aged timbers for a perfect meld between old and new.

The many rooms on the ground floor offer a variety of living spaces.

The old painted chest forms a charming complement to the huge farmhouse table, the exposed trusses, and the sensitively chosen industrial lighting.

Outside, little is altered.

The vintage trellis that was the height of style in the 1890s is retained.

Likewise, an old painted door with its antique fittings is simply left as is.

The ample proportions of an old AGA fire oven is perfect for the super-wide cooktops available in the 21st century.

This really has to be the most beautiful renovation ever seen by Homedesignfind.
