Dortmannhof是一个典型的十八世纪的Hallenhaus，这是德国西部埃森周围地区的一种常见建筑风格。在Hallenhaus中，家庭生活区和谷仓被集中在一个屋顶下，结构紧凑，可高达五层。
The Dortmannhof is a typical eighteenth century Hallenhaus, a common construction style from the region around Essen in western Germany. In a Hallenhaus, the familial living area and barn were brought together under one roof in a compact structure which could be up to five stories tall.
然而，现在的居民不是农民，而是一个音乐家家庭。为了满足他们的需要，在三个平行的谷仓空间的中心，增加了一个11米高的音乐工作室。
The current residents are not farmers however, but a family of musicians. To serve their needs, an eleven meter high music studio was added at the center of the three parallel barn spaces.
此外，在东边的谷仓里建造了一个有独立入口的客房，在西边的谷仓里增加了一个大型浴室。
Additionally, a guest house with a separate entrance was constructed in the eastern barn, and a large additional bathroom to the western barn.
建筑物的新空间像周围的农作物一样长得高而窄。朝北的大窗户让额外的日光穿过旧的穿孔墙，这些穿孔墙最初是为了给干草通风。
The building’s new spaces grow tall and narrow like the surrounding crops. Large north-facing windows allow for additional daylight to stream through the old perforated walls which were originally meant to ventilate the hay.
这座历史建筑由几个入口和内部连接组成，允许各种农事活动同时进行。这些特征被保留了下来，使家庭生活、创造力和工作能够以类似的精神共存。
The historic building is comprised of several entrances and internal connections which allowed for various farming activities to occur simultaneously. These features have been retained, allowing family life, creativity and work to coexist in a similar spirit.
房屋内部新增加的部分被建造成超大的可居住的家具，可以被拆除以恢复建筑的历史外观。采取这种方法是为了满足德国古迹保护法的要求，该法允许对历史建筑进行改造以适应现代使用。
The new internal additions to the house were constructed as oversized inhabitable furniture which can be removed to restore the building’s historical appearance. This approach was taken to meet requirements of the German law for monument protection, which allows for historic buildings to be adapted for modern usage.
