According to a report from www.merkur.de, the modernization of existing buildings is an increasingly important alternative to new construction. An example of this is the Kohlmeier family from Buch am Buchrain. They renovated a house from the 1970s from the ground up and won the second main prize in the “Golden House” builder competition. The renovation of the old house was recognized as particularly successful, which shows that the demand for such properties is increasing.
The Kohlmeier family bought the property in 2019 and began planning the renovation in October of the same year. With the support of their family, they worked 3,000 hours on their own. The result is impressive - the house now shines in new splendor and has wood fiber insulation and a facade made of European larch wood.
With a converted living space of 185 square meters and an open design, the house is now reminiscent of a new building. By installing new, floor-to-ceiling windows, the interior is flooded with light and has a modern design. In addition, various sustainable technologies such as a photovoltaic system on the roof and a heat pump were installed, which make the house future-proof.
The family invested a total of 300,000 euros in the renovation and received a 100,000 euro subsidy for energy-efficient renovation, which indicates funding and support from the government and other institutions. The use of sustainable materials and the possibility of dividing the house into two residential units also contributed to the award in the builder competition.
The Kohlmeiers thus represent a successful example of the successful renovation of existing properties. This role model function was particularly valued by the competition jury. In this way, they inspire others to maintain and modernize existing properties. Overall, this case shows that the demand for renovated old buildings is increasing as they offer both ecological and economic benefits.
