The listed two-story residential house in Rheinsberg was originally built around the year 1770 as an agrarian burgher's house in a typical local half-timbered construction with thatched-earth infill. The historic building fits harmoniously into the atmosphere of the city center of Rheinsberg. Over the centuries, the old half-timbered house has undergone a remarkable development, it was divided into two halves about 100 years ago. From January 2021 to March 2022, an extensive renovation took place. The reconstruction ensured that the building meets today's standards of living quality. Today, it presents itself as a spacious residential building with two separate living units per half of the house. This clever reconfiguration contributes to the optimal use of space and offers modern living comfort amidst the historic charm. The roofs have each been converted to residential use.

Last year, we already presented the Essen-based start-up "Futur2K" and the prototype as the basic building block of a modular system called "ADPT". This is an adaptive, cycle-based, scalable and climate-positive building. The special feature of this system is that it is designed to be modular, flexible and scalable. From Tiny House to neighborhood scale, many individual possibilities are offered. The team presented the interim result of their development work last year in the form of an "adaptive buildings" installation at Berliner Platz in Essen. Now there is news: The ADPT module can be explored at ZecheZollverein since the beginning of July.

"House Hovooren" is called the residential house built in 1986 in the district of Kleve. The detached house, situated in the countryside, which originally belonged to the 3-field farm "Aan het Hovooren", is located on a plot of land of approximately 4,000 m². The dwelling house with associated, lovingly arranged garden comprise 1,000 m², while the remaining 3,000 m² are used for the management of sheep. In 2021, the sale of the house was pending. The new owners, a young couple from the surrounding area, were convinced by Haus Hovooren at first sight. After the acquisition, an extensive renovation began promptly, most of which was done by Ann-Kathrin and Markus Platzer themselves. During the 11-month renovation phase, the focus was on energy-efficient modernization. It was important to the new owners to preserve the original style of the former farmhouse from the 19th century, which stood on the property before the Hovooren house and on which the current house is based.

Helsinki. In the northern district of Honkasuo in the Finnish capital, seven residential buildings were constructed using traditional block construction methods. The goal of a climate-friendly and sustainable row house settlement was pursued with the use of circular building materials and sustainable construction techniques. Solid hand-carved tree trunks from the region were used for the colourful row of houses. The interior was designed with climate-friendly clay plasters from ClayTec. The construction project was accompanied by architect Minna Aarnio and civil engineer Jukka Reinikainen, who both run the family business Rakennusasiaintoimisto Aarre Oy. Together they are involved in many projects in the southern region of Finland, where CO2-absorbing materials are a particular focus.
