The Story
This historical building, brimming with creative energy, is a magical space filled with symbolic objects and extraordinary stories.
For over five years, Meike Ziegler, in collaboration with a wonderful team of Polish, Turkish and German builders, turned an old Barn into the magical space that Dom Wilka is today.
Her aim was not only to build a beautiful house, but to co-create with people from various backgrounds. Together they succeeded in building this magical place, overcoming difficulties caused by language barriers, cultural differences and diverse political and religious opinions.
Most of Dom Wilka was created sustainably and resourcefully - using existing materials such as old ceiling-wood, bricks and steel from the building itself. Doors, floors and radiators are re-used from other historical sites. The furniture was mainly created by hand on the spot.
Inspired by the space, seasonal light, and the building process itself, Meike interwove some of her art work in the from of "creative rituals", into this house.
The walls whisper, ceilings reflect, floors breathe.
In Dom Wilka dreams want to become tangible.
