How on earth does one come up with the idea of pouring a huge amount of concrete into an Emmental farmhouse? Certainly, one could come up with several practical reasons (statics, thermal storage mass or the like...). For us, the house needed something rough and immediate, something that could build up its own world in the former barn and hayloft. A concrete object now cuts through all three floors and supports the old roof. In addition to its structural qualities, it holds all the bathrooms and kitchen accommodations, as well as cabinets and storage space. Large windows open up the view into the impressive attic.
