THE RED BARN by Thomas Kroeger, Uckermark, Germany

The largest part of the building was given over to sheep and cow stalls, with the right side of the barn split up into small rooms for the farmer’s family. On the upper level there was also a room for smoking meat, and adjacent to that, a pigeon coup. Working with the lauded Berlin architect Thomas Kröger over a period of 4 years, we managed to turn this old cow shed into a family holiday home (the COUNTRY HOUSE), complete with a separate guest house, for year round use.

The Red Barn was awarded in 2016 with the DAM Prize of the German Architecture Museum for outstanding modern architecture.
