DESIGN MEETS NATURE
The Hofgut accommodations are located in Bad Birnbach in Germany, and are surrounded by an enchanting landscape of ponds and trees. In 1999, host Erwin Rückerl opened Bavaria’s first cooking school here. Since then, the estate has grown dynamically in several stages of expansion. In 2019, together with the architects from Mang Architekten, Derenko had the honor of becoming part of this wonderful structural expansion. A modern extension was added on to the existing main house, perfectly integrating into the surrounding environment with its thoroughly futuristic language of form.

Natural materials such as stone walls and wooden elements provide a contrast to exposed concrete walls and gray terrazzo flooring. This creates an interior space with a cozily warm atmosphere featuring a long table as the striking centerpiece, where the host himself, guests, visitors from the neighborhood and everyone will find a spot for themselves. This open room offers a place to come together with a snug and welcoming character. In the evening, the room’s romantic side is revealed, when the warm light of the stylish bird lamps envelop the room. A place in which to kick back and stay a while.
