SEEHOTEL AM NEUKLOSTERSEE

The estate, “Seehotel am Neuklostersee”, used to be a typical farm. Only two and a half hours from Berlin, you find this very peaceful and relaxing place surrounded by forests, flowery meadows and fields. It is situated in a protected area adjacent to a bathing lake, where geese, dogs, sheep and cats feel at home as well.

In 2004, a new archetype of a “barn of bathing” was built to complement the existing “barn of arts” and the two main buildings, the stone house with a restaurant and the hotel, thus forming a traditional three-winged farm, which is typical for the place.

With much love of details the buildings have been furnished with a harmonious combination of old furniture from the master builder’s time and new, modern furnishing and fittings. The mixture of new and old creates a very special charm, which varies from building to building.

The stone house has a touch of Mediterranean style with beach wood parquet flooring, bright colours and a furnishing characterised by the modern cottage style. Light-coloured armchairs with cloth covers, white-lacquered chairs and tables as well as excellent food invite you to linger on. The rooms have been decorated with different materials; the shades of the design carpet are reflected in the colouring of the room.

Modern built-in wardrobes are set like sculptures and although contrasting with old pieces of furniture, such as a beautiful old table, the result is harmonious. The “barn of arts” is available for conferences, concerts, workshops and other events. The girders and oak staircases interact harmoniously with the terracotta flooring from old French monasteries. The rooms, with winter gardens placed in front of them, are fabulously light and nature finds its way in. Local granite stone paving stretches from the terraces into the winter gardens, thus establishing the connection between the inside and the outside.

 

The “barn of bathing” should appear as archaic as possible and this was realised by means of complex details, among others in the main façade. The lower part of the façade is decorated with Corten steel troughs with ivy elements. The building materials were intentionally aged to integrate the new building into the existing ones right from the start. When opened the window shutters are in the window opening. When closed they flush with the façade.
