into the wall wiedenhofer

a continuation, a remodelling, an addition, a repurposing. the idea of a place of retreat, a chamber for reflection, meditation, resting, dreaming, being for oneself. all new building components were handcrafted and designed with restraint according to the principle of continuation. the solid stone walls, the plasters are cleaned and restored, left in their haptics and only supplemented in the bodies or in transitions. a working, an integration with the existing, the openings. They are additions that give the whole a new identity, such as the gutter, green as a colourful, material design element. the roof of the volume hovers constructively over the stone, creating a special intermediate space, lightness and visual references. the skin of welded, untreated aluminium plates is laid over it, creating a handcrafted counterpoint.

the newly positioned black pigmented concrete staircase integrates the building into the landscape, into the elevation layers and becomes part of them. it positions itself by extending the wall to the full, which leads the retreat into the open. the architecture is complemented by a concrete circle, a landscape element, an island, a place to linger in the midst of untreated nature. special features such as the green painted detailed rain gutter, the found red, the door and window frames form a contrast to the wall and create a unity throughout. inside, an open osb box is inserted, painted in a light pink. the window frame form a contrast to the wall and create a unity throughout. inside, an open osb box is placed inside, painted in a light pink. the sectional line of the box runs through the room, becoming bed, box, panelling, kitchen and bathroom, creating a lightness inside despite the minimal space (15 m2). a centred, changeable space at rest: a spazio for working, sleeping, dreaming.

a chicken coop is reinterpreted instead of demolished, a rebuilding is a remodelling.
