We're a bit slow on the draw with this one, but we had to share this little house with you anyway. By Stuttgart's FNP Architekten, the house is made up of 21st-century guts within an 18th-century shell...

Awarded the 2005 Architectural Review Award for Emerging Architecture, the house was built off-site and inserted into the fragile existing structure. The result is a modern new wood interior with a charming, albeit crumbling, exterior. See more on S(ch)austall (that's German wordplay with pigsty and showroom) at the FNP Architekten website.
AMAZING!!!!! I love the mixture of rustic/primitive and modern.

Interesting how they just dropped the interior through the roof.

UUMMMMMM......YUCK!
I am just hoping that wood interior shell is very strong enough to hold that crumbling brick.... Or has it been forteifed?

This small house was discussed in Dwell some time ago. Still, it's a great structure.
