Fashionable Nostalgia – Brick Home by Nidus

This inside challenge embraces a refined minimalist ambiance, characterised by the considerate use of pure and tactile supplies corresponding to oiled pine wooden, whitewashed plaster, and classic furnishings from the Sixties and 70s. The house is heat and serene, rigorously composed to evoke a way of quiet retreat. A key characteristic of the design is a custom-made wall cupboard, developed particularly for this setting. Impressed by the spirit of the home, the cupboard acts as a miniature treasure chest—intimate and expressive, echoing the architectural identification of the house itself.

The brick home in East Frisia, constructed within the Sixties as a farmworker’s dwelling, consists of a essential home and a small barn. It was constructed following a standardized plan, reflecting the mass housing developments of post-war Germany.

Designed to fulfill broad housing wants, the home was constructed merely with native supplies like purple brick and craftsmanship. This kind of self-sufficient dwelling formed the cultural panorama of northern Germany within the Sixties. Once we found the home in 2020, a lot of its authentic simplicity had been misplaced to fashionable renovations—plastic roof extensions, shutters, and painted home windows had distorted its look.

The home was meant to develop into a weekend retreat. As an alternative of constructing radical modifications, we opted to protect its modest exterior and spotlight the refined native craftsmanship. Along with native artisans, we restored the home to its authentic, easy magnificence. The nice roof detailing is a good instance of our refined strategy. As we speak, the home blends seamlessly into the panorama of fields, meadows, and the close by dike of the Wadden Sea Nationwide Park.

The inside displays the identical minimalist ambiance, with supplies like oiled pine wooden, whitewashed plaster, and classic furnishings from the 60s and 70s. We designed a small wall cupboard impressed by this challenge, capturing the essence of the home—just a little treasure chest, very like the home itself.
