Haus A | Marion Wicher

It is a farm in the municipality of Allerheiligen near Wildon. All Saints at Wildon take the name of its church. It was a small hamlet, characterized by the surrounding rural structures and the associated farms.

The farm with its house, which still exists today, was already written down in the Franciscan cadastre. The house and the smithy can already be seen there and marked as 'Reisnerweber'.
In any case, its origin is at least before 1870.

The forge found at that time was a one-storey building with a vaulted cellar as a historical structure, an open storage room connected to it and a newer roof structure covering everything.

The architectural concept includes the open storage facility as a closed living space. The existing height development results in a living and dining room that is offset in height. The arched openings that were found were retained and supplemented.

The ground floor was increased with an open concrete structure as a coffin lid construction in the form of a pitched roof. The master bedroom, a bathroom, built-in bunks for the two sons and a centrally located open play room are found on this upper floor. The bunks have the bed level windows, these offer unobstructed views of the countryside. The upper floor has a horizontal larch slat paneling on the outside, the ground floor has the classic plaster.

The gable facades are fully glazed - open to the west, to the north it is clad with the larch slat facade - as a privacy screen from what is now the neighboring house.

The terrain towards the threshing floor was terraced and now offers an open and a covered lounge area. The playground is framed by the threshing floor and the new residential building. The surrounding area was designed in consultation with the neighbors without technical enclosures and thus appears as an adapted open structure in the old ensemble as a farm or small hamlet.

The primary energetic supply takes place via a deep geothermal borehole.
