A stable for small animals is to be built on the steep terrain below the farmhouse at Rielinger Hof: two modular rooms with access from the hillside will serve as a new home for roosters, rabbits, guinea pigs, and quails. Most of the building materials are already available.
Six larch wood columns will be driven into the unaltered terrain, with two boards on the left and right forming ceiling beams and rafters. The last rafter board in each case also serves as the side fascia board, flush with the facade.
The roof pitch follows the contour of the terrain, providing sufficient height for access on the hillside and sloping down on the valley side. The cladding of the side board walls runs parallel to this. On the valley side, there is a large panoramic window, standard in today's construction projects, enclosed only by a steel grille to protect against foxes. The two doors on the north side are self-closing.
