Details
The hay barn from 1873 near Tittmoning has been given new life within the cultural landscape of the Rupertiwinkel. The design called for sensitivity to place and tradition: the barn was to remain rustic, robust, and true to its agricultural roots. Using timber from the family’s own forest, much self-help, and the skills of local craftsmen, the project became a collective effort of family and friends. The result is a home rich in personal details – from the self-laid roof and clay plaster walls to handmade tiles. A building whose creation is as unique as its outcome.
The Jury‘s Statement
With a keen sense for the existing structure and its surroundings, „Ruperti“ became a residential and work space that preserves the rustic authenticity of the original barn. The combination of local materials, hands-on craftsmanship, and subtle modernization creates a harmonious, identity-shaping ensemble. The sensitive balance between old and new is especially impressive, lending this project outstanding presence within its field.
