In a remote historic city in north-eastern Germany stands this heritage-protected brick building. What remained has been preserved and carefully supplemented. The materials used are sustainable, reusable, or recyclable: clay, wood fibre, lime, straw, and others. Like the original structure, the building remains completely open to diffusion. Precise interventions inside and out gently transform the house, bringing it into dialogue with the zeitgeist while inscribing another layer into its unfolding history.

The rammed-earth Foundation Hall marks the first step in the spatial and programmatic transformation of the Borghardt Foundation in Stendal. It establishes a new presence toward the city while simultaneously forming the heart of the overall ensemble of the foundation.

The tangible materiality, the clear and welcoming architecture, and the respectful treatment of the existing vegetation make the place perceptible through all the senses and anchor it in the everyday life of its users.

Attic conversion in a 500-year-old building in the historic center of Glis. The renovation transforms the former loft into a bright, contemporary living space while preserving the building’s centuries-old character. Original timber structures and historical details are carefully retained, creating a subtle dialogue between heritage and modern living.

Museumpark Incheon is conceived as an open cultural landscape that bridges the site’s industrial past with South Korea’s vertical urban development. Located on the former OCI factory grounds, the park remains fully accessible to the public and reinterprets the relationship between city, architecture, and nature. The concept “49 Walls” reflects Seoul’s urban condition by translating historical spatial patterns into new architectural elements that structure the park and create spaces for art, interaction, and informal use.

Existing structures, including the former OCI Factory building, are transformed into a generous entrance hall and cultural hub, preserving the site’s industrial memory. The museums evolve from historical traces of former settlements and production areas, offering varied spatial experiences, natural light, and flexible exhibition spaces. Defined yet adaptable, Museumpark Incheon fosters unplanned encounters, community activities, and continuous change—inviting the public to engage, exhibit, perform, and shape the space over time.

The added volume extends the apartment on the first floor and upgrades all three apartments with additional outdoor areas. With the ‚Veranda' a key feature of the existing buildings architecture is taken up. It serves as a sheltered reception room, outdoor dining area in summer and storage space during winter, support the interactive life in the multigenerational house. 

Materiality and construction reference the 1950s building, with exposed concrete complementing the rough plaster façade while improving seismic and thermal performance. Reused and up-cycled interior materials emphasize a sustainable approach. The extension remains deliberately subordinate, strengthening the overall architectural clarity.
