A farmhouse conversion requires a lot of courage. You have to be bold and creative to see the Cinderella of a devastated warehouse transformed into a shining princess. This was exactly the case with the historic dairy farmhouse of Trausdorf below, situated near Eisenstadt, Austria. Once in a state of hibernation, the building was restored beautifully by AllesWirdGut studio. Formerly divided into small rooms inside, the building was now completely gutted. Taking into consideration the characteristics of the landscape, the team decided to opt for a clean, minimalist layout where natural materials and stylish items of furniture combine. This makes the interior feel relaxed and comfortable for the guests who party near a vineyard.
