Barn Conversion in Offenbach
Regarded as worthy of preservation and possessing a sound structure, the barn was converted to provide additional space for a small house opposite. The existing spatial layout - two storeys in one half and a double-height space in the other - was retained. The extension was designed as a series of open spaces that afford various cross-views. The only intimate, enclosed "chamber" is on the first floor, and even this has a window to the hall. The façade structure was also retained. A steel window element was inserted in the large entrance gateway, which extends up to the eaves, and the original timber gates were used to make folding shutters.
