Haus der Bauern Freiburg

At the Haus der Bauern, the material wood is showcased in its finest form. This is made possible by a double-scaled glass façade that provides exceptional weather protection while simultaneously creating fascinating plays of light. The passive house is an exemplary model of modern and sustainable construction.

"We chose this system because the horizontal and vertical overlap provides exceptionally high protection against moisture – even driving rain – while ensuring proper ventilation behind the façade."

„We simply couldn't imagine hiding such an attractive wooden house behind plaster. The idea for the glass skin emerged from the desire for a transparent weather protection.“
– Adelbert Hassler, Architect, Werkgruppe Lahr
