Due to the industrialisation of agriculture and the abolition of the milk quota in Germany, small farms have to close down. They are replaced by industrial agricultural production. The region is characterised by agriculture and old half-timbered buildings. The modern farm is located at the entrance of a traditional Swabian village.
The Milchhaus (milk house) contributes to rescue the farm. Milk and other products, which are produced there are sold directly to local residents. The house consists of a wooden framework, which corresponds to the local tradition of crafts-manship and was covered with affordable corrugated sheets, as they are used on the modern farm.
The milk house mediates between the traditional village and the modern farm built in the 1970s. On the one hand it marks the entrance to the traditional village, on the other hand it remains part of the modern farm. The house had to be realised on a very small budget.

The Milchhaus is linked to the project 025 Landschaftsmetropole, which is part of the IBA'27 Stuttgart network.
