Seehotel am Neuklostersee
The estate, “Seehotel am Neuklostersee”, used to be a typical farm. Only two and a half hours from Berlin, you find this very peaceful and relaxing place surrounded by forests, flowery meadows and fields. It is situated in a protected area adjacent to a bathing lake, where geese, dogs, sheep and cats feel at home as well.
In 2004, a new archetype of a “barn of bathing” was built to complement the existing “barn of arts” and the two main buildings, the stone house with a restaurant and the hotel, thus forming a traditional three-winged farm, which is typical for the place.
With much love of details the buildings have been furnished with a harmonious combination of old furniture from the master builder’s time and new, modern furnishing and fittings. The mixture of new and old creates a very special charm, which varies from building to building.
The stone house has a touch of Mediterranean style with beach wood parquet flooring, bright colours and a furnishing characterised by the modern cottage style. Light-coloured armchairs with cloth covers, white-lacquered chairs and tables as well as excellent food invite you to linger on. The rooms have been decorated with different materials; the shades of the design carpet are reflected in the colouring of the room.
Modern built-in wardrobes are set like sculptures and although contrasting with old pieces of furniture, such as a beautiful old table, the result is harmonious. The “barn of arts” is available for conferences, concerts, workshops and other events. The girders and oak staircases interact harmoniously with the terracotta flooring from old French monasteries. The rooms, with winter gardens placed in front of them, are fabulously light and nature finds its way in. Local granite stone pavement stretches from the terraces into the winter gardens, thus establishing the connection between the inside and the outside.
The “barn of bathing” should appear as archaic as possible and this was realised by means of complex details, among others in the main façade. The lower part of the façade is decorated with Corten steel troughs with ivy elements. The building materials were intentionally aged to integrate the new building into the existing ones right from the start. When opened the window shutters are in the window opening. When closed they flush with the façade.

Much love of farms and attention to details have brought new life to an old DDR holiday settlement from the last century. For the architects, Johanne and Gernot Nalbach, husband and wife from Berlin, it was an unexpected dream come trough.
A bale of straw as coffee table expresses the concept of the symbiosis between nature and modern furnishing elements. Natural and artificial light have intentionally been applied as creative elements in the buildings. Creole lights with mirror reflectors emphasise tables and walls. The roof windows bring the outside inside and add a special and cosy ambience to the rooms.

The VELUX roof windows are placed almost at the same level as the larch tree battens, underlining the cubic effect of the structure. The ground floor plan of the “barn of bathing”, has resemblance to an old Roman bathing house. In order to minimise the heat loss the adjoining rooms have been placed in groups around the swimming pool.
Like in the two other houses, the furnishing is influenced by the surroundings. You see walnut both on the floor and in the fixtures and limestone in the Turkish baths. The walls are built from clay and straw giving the surface a slightly different, structured gloss.
