In the quiet countryside of East Frisia, the Farmworker’s House tells a story of resilience and practicality. Built in the 1960s, this humble brick home, paired with a small barn, was part of Germany’s post-war effort to create efficient, self-sufficient housing.
The modern villa was built on a plot of land on the outskirts of Reutlingen on a popular mountain trail, directly below the Achalm Mountain. To the north, towards this path, Fineway House appears like a stone, solid and closed and opens with floor-to-ceiling glazing to the view in the south.
The architect Alexander Brenner has created an experimental home and studio building with the “Parler Research House PR39” in Stuttgart that has an unusually down-to-earth and forceful effect.
The Haus am Wald is located at the end of a cul-de-sac road with an existing development predominantly from the 1960s, on the northern edge of Stuttgart-Schoenberg and directly adjoining to the forest.
The Bredeney House with its generous driveway in an open, semi-public front garden, however, takes reference from the partly still existing 1960s houses. A separation from the public space is only achieved by the level of the house itself.
