BaxBox_srtobl Architekten ZT GmbH

„Backskiste“ is what they call the boxes on ships used to easily store all the unnecessary stuff. That’s where ropes, life jackets, food and other boat accesories end up. A useful device, since something could easily go down the drain.

The renovation of an old wooden house on the Fischach meets the same requirements. In this Baxbox you can find something cool for hot summer nights and something warm for cold winter days, something snuggly to sleep, something useful to cook, something wet to wash, something quiet to go do your business, something loud, informative, amazing – just exactly what boat-home owners never seeked for, but always wanted to find.

The result is a box on an existing foundation, which in its function and with ist materials adapts itself to the environment.
