The actual residential building of the farm was too small by the size for the family. The barn in the close proximity was therefor large enough.  Image Courtesy © Josef Mandl

It was important for the revitalisation to have a historically true completion, but new integrations are recognizable. First of all, the panorama windows with his nurglas quality give immediately not the sensation to be a part of an agricultural use, without to be out of place. The windows were integrated at the same places as the old operable elements of the ventilation.

The storage and technical rooms are located on the hillside of the building. The first floor was defined as a spacious living-dining room with a fireplace and a great panorama view over the valley and mountains. The attic floor contains four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
