A 1:50 study model of 'Mühle' (mill), depicting a two-part vernacular structure: a rubble-stone masonry base rendered in painted plaster with individually legible stone courses, supporting a log-construction upper volume built from actual thin wood strips stained dark, with corner notching visible. The pitched roof is finished with a heavily textured acrylic or plaster surface that evokes stone slate.
