History
The name Talhaus design, comes from our house in Austria, which is located at the end of a valley.
One of our first design projects was the extensive renovation of this old farmhouse, which was an empty shell of very solid walls and a roof when we purchased it in 2008.
The house dates from around 1660. This date is carved into a beam in the dining room and, on demolishing a wall inside the house, we discovered 2 coins that had been inserted into the wall dated from 1686.
Renovating this old house was a challenge as we wanted to keep it as original as possible, whilst at the same time making it both livable and functional.
Most of the renovations were completed with old “recycled” wood and natural materials, including stone and Adneter marble from the local quarry or local wood such as larch. The interior walls (there is not a straight one in the house) are finished in a rough plaster finish to keep the place looking natural and authentic. 12 years later we finished the interior of the house – now working on the outside.
It’s been a labour of love and it deserves a tiny webpage of its own.
