Ambitious architects do not like to be in the shadows with their designs. This was not a problem for Friedrich Bruncken. At least when it comes to the hundred-year-old book of blood, under which the impressive leafy canopy is a planned family home. “Wood like this gives the space character, it affects the climate, it has incredible value,” says the Cologne architect. It reassures its customers. The tree stood still and Bruncken integrated it into the design of the new house. With considerable effort.
