The single-family house was built in 1936 by Sep Ruf for the writer Josef Martin Bauer. It consists of two single-story structures with gable roofs, which are arranged in a Z-shape to each other, thus forming an entrance courtyard and a terrace courtyard. The house was acquired by the Ickler family in 2013. In order to be able to use the building as a residential house again, it had to be extensively renovated. For this purpose, a differentiated renovation concept was developed, which provided for specific measures and procedures for the building envelope and the interior respectively. In addition to coordination with the State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments, the craftsmen who carried out the work were also closely involved.

RENOVATION PROCESS

Architecture

BUILDING DESCRIPTION

The single-family house was built in 1936 by Sep Ruf for the writer Josef Martin Bauer. It consists of two single-story structures with gable roofs, which are arranged in a Z-shape to each other, thus forming an entrance courtyard and a terrace courtyard. The building, of simple construction, featured a number of handcrafted elements, also designed by Sep Ruf, which have survived to the present day, such as a library, dressing room, built-in wardrobes, checkroom and a large bench. In the 1950s, the expression of the building was very much changed by the replacement of the windows changed. Probably since the 1990s, the building was vacant. During this time, urgently necessary measures for the preservation of the building were omitted. The building was therefore in a neglected condition. The garden was completely overgrown. Due to the no longer functioning roof drainage and damage to the verge had caused severe consequential damage to the exterior and interior plaster. Due to frost damage, most of the radiators and individual pipes were damaged. The electrical installation was no longer functional.
Urban context
The house in a side street is located in the northern part of Dorfen, a town with about 13500 inhabitants. Therefore, the location can be classified as rural. The building is located opposite a school as well as a sports field.

Conditions of the envelope
The building had probably been vacant since the 1990s. During this time, urgently necessary measures for the preservation of the building were omitted. The building was therefore in a neglected neglected condition. The garden was completely overgrown. Due to the no longer functioning roof drainage and damage to the verge had caused severe consequential damage to the exterior and interior plaster. and interior plaster. Due to frost damage, most of the radiators and individual pipes were damaged. The electrical installation was no longer functional.
Description of pre-intervention building services
Before the renovation, there was already running water as well as electrical and heating installations. However, most of the pipes were damaged by frost and the electrical lines also had to be replaced.

HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE

ELEMENTS WORTHY OF PRESERVATION
The external design elements, such as the flush window connection and the scarce formation of eaves and verge without roof overhangs, were conserved and preserved in the renovation process. In addition, the wooden box and round windows were also recreated according to old windows still preserved. All these measures restore the original image of the house.
Heritage Value Assesment
The Josef Martin Bauer House is one of the early works of Sep Ruf, who was a German architect and designer. With his buildings, described in professional circles as light in appearance, he left his mark on German post-war architecture and is regarded as a facilitator of modern architecture in Germany oriented towards international models. He became known for the construction of the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg, the construction of the New Maxburg in Munich together with Theo Papst and the bungalow of the chancellor in Bonn. Josef Martin Bauer was a German writer and radio playwright. In his most famous novel, As Far as the Feet Will Carry (1955), Bauer retells the story of a returnee to Russia, long generally believed to be true. The book was filmed twice and translated into 15 languages.

Aim of retrofit

Renovation
The aim of the renovation was to make the building habitable again for the Ickler family. Therefore, numerous installations were replaced due to damage. Only minor changes were made to the floor plan. High priority was given to the energetic upgrading with the most complete preservation of the original interior fittings and the original interior surfaces such as tiles, stone and wooden floors. At the same time, later changes to the building (windows, parquet) were reversed and the building was brought back to its original state.
Lessons learned
The special feature of this project was the implementation of full thermal insulation in a listed building with the help of good planning and good reasoning based on thermal bridge simulations.

RETROFIT SOLUTIONS

External Walls

Masonry wall

Masonry wall

A 60mm thickness of Multipor (mineral foam) insulation was applied. This preserves the image of the house almost unchanged, but also achieves a better insulation value.

Due to this intervention, the external appearance is hardly changed and the original house can be combined with modern living standards.

Windows

Wooden box windows with shutters

Wooden box windows with shutters

Many of the original windows were replaced with aluminum windows in the 1960s. These were again replaced by wooden box windows with shutters, which were made to resemble the original windows. In all box windows, the inner sashes were equipped with 2-pane thermal insulation glazing and fitted with sealing lips.

The original wooden box windows were left to the executing company as a reference for the new windows to be installed. Thus, the windows were created according to the old model and fit into the original image of the house, but offer the current state of the art and modern comfort.

Other interventions

ROOF

GROUND FLOOR

ROOF

The roof was fitted with between- and on-rafter insulation to meet energy standards. In addition, the roof covering was replaced and a sub-roof was installed.

The appearance of the roof was hardly changed by the interventions. The decisive design elements, such as the tight formation of the eaves and verge without roof overhang, were preserved.

GROUND FLOOR

Basement ceiling insulation was installed in the basement areas. In large parts of the building, a parquet floor that was applied later was removed and the original wooden floor was exposed again.

Since the basement rooms are only subordinate storage rooms, the basement ceiling insulation does not affect the actual appearance of the house. The exposed old wooden floors led to an upgrade of the interior appearance.
