The execution and position of the new volumes are based on the historicity and landscape of the site. Within the historic garden wall, the detached buildings are arranged around the existing building between the trees. The harmonious entity of six residential buildings, each with four open facades, guarantees a light and spacious feeling for the residents with a beautiful view of the green surroundings. In addition, each Zero-net apartment has a terrace with a favorable orientation.
The buildings are made of different materials and textures, so that they each have their own identity. The garden wall, the existing main building and a red beech inspired the use of red bricks. Square bricks refer to the former tile factory and the use of concrete refers to the hard stone elements of the historic volume. The result is a playful architectural entity where it’s beautiful to live due to the meticulous design & the park feeling thanks to the green environment.
