A 17th-century property in the village of Biberac, in Germany, was recently renovated. This generously sized historical architecture boasts a huge park, with several annex buildings once used as agricultural storehouses.
While some of them were converted into offices, storerooms and warehouses for the owner's brewery business, the small 19th-century brick building became a space to host parties and dinners in the park. Inside, you find high black ceilings, a wood floor made of thin-slatted industrial parquet and a large tavern table.
The airy space centers around a kitchen island made entirely of hand-orbitally polished stainless steel. This sculptural, but also functional, element serves as a countertop to gather around, and allows the owner to cook while entertaining the guests seated around the adjacent table. Integrated to the flush top are the V-ZUG CookTop V4000 and the GAS412GSBZ hob: the coexistence of induction and gas hobs transforms the cooktop into a flexible tool to achieve the desired results.
“I wanted to completely separate my private life from my ‘social’ life so I asked my architect to create a second kitchen, immersed in the centuries-old park, where I can invite guests and friends informally.” Owner, Biberac estate
