Heavy wooden beams still carry the ceiling of the farmhouse parlour. At the same time, wild oak parquet floors and a 5-metre panoramic window in the top-floor living room ensure that nothing is lacking in comfort.
Once: an outhouse in the yard. No shower, only cold water — not even in the kitchen. A single room was heated: the Stube with its tiled stove. Today: six bedrooms, four full bathrooms with rain showers, pellet central heating throughout the house, a wood-burning stove in the top-floor living room, 280 m² of fully renovated living space. The result is a house that has not been whitewashed but has remained honest — and where you can today find complete peace and quiet.
Behind the project: Martin Moschitz-Kumar — raised in Oberzeiring, just a few kilometres away. TU Graz, MIT Boston, then years in Silicon Valley. The longing for real places grew there, the deeper one becomes immersed in the digital world. A house that has stayed real — that was the only brief.
