Built in 1906, the Körschgeshof (also called Kyrgeshof) is a listed building on the Lower Rhine that bears witness to the region’s agricultural history. Today, the three-winged brick building still bustles with activity, though the focus has shifted from fruit and vegetables to urban living and environmental sustainability. In renovating this proud farmhouse architecture, we preserved its character while infusing the family home with modern upgrades and our distinctive flair. Many of the charming elements that characterize the current living spaces were already present – we simply spotlighted these details and upgraded them with high-quality materials. We took a similar approach to the barn on the north end of the farm, which we transformed into the caspar.lab. In the old oat mill, we integrated two apartments, and what was once a cattle shed has been repurposed into a multifunctional space housing a garage, workshop, gym, and studio. With these updates, the entire property is primed for a sustainable future.
