Atelier Kempe Thill

The Storage tiny houses are a sub-project of Kappel Monastery transformation and serve as an extension to the hotel, for longer-staying seminar guests. In order to offer more comfort and spatial diversity, the Storage is designed like a small terraced housing estate consisting of identical tiny houses with axial dimensions of only 3,1 m and a usable floor space of just under 33 m2 per house. The core of the concept is a spatial experience created by the double-height room in the kitchen and dining area. It is combined with a staircase to the upper floor that makes the peaked roof, as prescribed by the local heritage protection. The facade opens to the terrace with a generous double-opening glass door. This configuration gives the small house an unexpected and enriching spatial complexity that makes a longer period stay enjoyable. The building consists of a wooden structure in laminated veneer panels, which remain fully visible on the inside. The facade of the building is clad in wooden slats.
