House in Mecklenburgische Seenplatte

About this house rental
The house was a passion project for Johanna Michel and her husband Dirk Preuß. With Berlin architect Thomas Kröger, the design professor and civil engineer devised a concept that puts the landscape first: a glazed ground floor open to its surroundings and a recessed base that makes the house appear to float above the meadow.
Inside, the timber structure is stained black, complemented by continuous black mastic asphalt flooring—hence the name. The quiet, sensual materials draw the eye outside to hills, forests and sky. Much of the construction was self-built, with Dirk Preuß managing the site.
Its architectural concept earned Das Schwarze Haus several awards: the BDA Brandenburg Award 2012, the Baukulturpreis 2013 and the “House of the Year” award 2014.
The ground floor has a six-metre-high living room with dining and cooking areas and a fireplace seating area a few steps lower. Opposite is a six-metre-high study. Between them are two sleeping alcoves, each for two people and separable by sliding doors, and a bathroom. Upstairs, under the roof, are two more bedrooms and an additional toilet.
Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement (one dog per stay). Other pets are unfortunately not allowed.
Parties and events are not allowed in the house.
- Pet allowed payment 50,00 € per pet
