Preserving the proven, venturing into the new - Renovating a farmhouse in Frankfurt-Bergen
In this episode, we take you to the Frankfurt district of Bergen, where architects Cilia and Hendrik Tovar have lovingly renovated a historic farmhouse from 1850. Discover how this project, through clever planning and the use of simple yet effective techniques, has preserved the character of the old building while meeting today’s living standards.
We speak with Cilia and Hendrik Tovar of ffm-architekten about the challenges and creative solutions they found during the renovation of this special house. Furthermore, they explain how the mineral interior insulation system Multipor from Xella not only contributes to the energy efficiency of the house but also protects its historical substance.
Especially in times when more living space is urgently needed and many buildings await renovation, projects like this are exemplary. They show how, with simple approaches and respect for the past, living quality can be improved. Created for the future.
