Sustainability is a pretty big word.
For us, it means above all to starting attempts and making compromises.
It was important to us to preserve an old house and to give it something new with care.
During the renovation, we tried to preserve the old and make careful use of the available resources.
We also made some changes to make the house more energy-efficient:
Replacement of the coal/wood heating system with an ecological pellet heating system
Installation of new 3-layer glazed windows where necessary
Switch to green electricity with our PV-System
Installation of an e-charging station for cars
Switch to modern water systems including taps and flushes, thus saving precious H2O
Electrical appliances with low power consumption
LED light bulbs throughout the house
Use of smart thermostats
Implemention of a recycling system (paper, residual waste, organic waste, plastic, glass/metal)
Refill systems instead of disposable plastic
Cleaning mainly with ecological products
Neutral shapes and colors in the interior, which are durable in their aesthetics
We source local, organic and fair wherever possible from our partners
