Explore this hidden woodland retreat in Berlin
Haus Koeris, designed by Zeller & Moye is a house created entirely out of wood with a function to emphasis privacy without losing sight of place . The landscape here might be wooded but it’s relatively dense, with houses sitting in close proximity, shielded from each by the vegetation.
The entire structure is built of wood, inside and out, with a facade clad in spruce planks. The whole house is raised up on blocks to keep the damp away, while the interiors are all clad from floor to ceiling in pale wood, creating a warm and atmospheric ambience. This is paired with large single pane windows that frame views out onto the landscape.
The central space includes a kitchen, large dining table and a hearth. Doors in three corners lead off to the subsidiary boxes, all of which have been designed to be as flexible as possible. The clients have the option of using them as a bedroom, studio, workshop or guest room, with a high degree of privacy afforded by their separation from each other.
The house was low cost and low energy, with wood used throughout for the structure, cladding and detailing, as well as the insulation. There is also a self-contained sewage system and upcoming additions include a swathe of rooftop planting that’ll complete Haus Koeris’s absorbsion back into nature. §
