House W in Brandenburg

Design: Peter Ruge Architekten

Location: Oberhavel, Brandenburg, south of Berlin, Germany

Cost-efficient building with wood in the countryside of the district Oberhavel

This is a new house in Brandenburg.

House W is a detached dacha for a German-Russian family of musicians.

Located 75 km north of Berlin in the beautiful countryside of Brandenburg, it is surrounded by lakes and forests.

On a large 6,500 m2 site, a one storey wooden cabin has been constructed with a spacious living, dining and kitchen area.

Connected to the imposing outside landscape, large window areas open the building up to the wooden porch and the natural garden.

The low-cost, wooden construction and the silver-turning larch cladding have been chosen to emphasize renewable primary products and to mingle with natural surroundings.
