Details
The oldest farmhouse in Munich mediates between rural idyll and urban metropolis. The sparseness of the existing building - modern, concentrated, modest - creates atmosphere and scale. This inspires the new building and integrates it contextually. The listed farmhouse with its parlor, kitchen and bedrooms serves as a communal house. The open spaces are intensively designed and managed communally. The concept preserves the memory of the village's rural origins.
The Jury‘s Statement
The transformation of a listed farmhouse into a community center demonstrates a successful blend of old and new. The architectural design creates a space that preserves rural heritage while meeting modern demands. "Der alte und der neue Derzbachhof" impresses with its high quality in maintaining the existing structure and its harmonious integration into the surroundings.
