After the purchase of the property was decided and the financing was successful, the expansion began. In addition to the fast internet connection for working, the clear priority was to renovate the guest accommodation and to proceed as resource-efficiently as possible. The monument protection was a real challenge with the buildings, some of which were more than a hundred years old. The result is beautiful accommodation in various sizes, the style of which lies between the charm of a modern old building and a turn-of-the-century summer house. Old tiles, antique lamps, modern bathrooms and appealing colors are very tastefully and individually put together. The old key box and many pieces of furniture have been preserved and have been quickly restored with new paint or upholstery. In cooperation with designer friends, new pieces of furniture have been created that guests can also reorder.

Under the plaster in the entrance, wall paintings from the times before there were wallpapers were found during the renovation. Since holes were created when the old structures were knocked off, some gold paint was improvised and a kind of kintsugi work of art was made of it (traditional Japanese repair technique, which translates as "repair with gold"). The old paintings, the fresh gold paint and the newly created structures became something very unique. Almost a symbol for the entire courtyard - here old things are renovated, preserved, renewed and supplemented, so that a contemporary use and a special aesthetic come together. And it's also okay if something isn't perfect - the main thing is that it was created sustainably and organically. In addition to the guest house, there are two other, also renovated, construction trailers and, in summer, nicely furnished tipis with mattresses, carpets and fairy lights.
