Projects
DAFFODIL MEADOW RECEPTION BARN
Similar project to the reception hut models. Nature reserve area for daffodils. The building is an openable stage / shelter for cultural events and wildlife camps. Simple volume inspired by nearby isolated barns. + open-minded client (the mayor), inspiring and beautiful context – complicated and long funding procedure; supervision and maintenance administration unsolved for these remote locations; some details gone wrong during construction
CHURCH CONVERSION
Concept project for reusing the abandoned unitarian (calvinist protestant) church in a small, mountain mining town as a cultural center. Our approach was inserting the new function as a separate smaller volume keeping the ruined, roofless church wall structure dominating. + complete design freedom – the project most likely will stay in this concept phase: too few locals to dream about it.
MINING MUSEUM
Inserting a new function into the historical fabric of an old mining village – Rosia Montana / Verespatak / Goldbach, Rothseifen. 9+3 buildings and plots involved, specific labyrinthine spatial connections preserved. Renovation of existing houses completed using traditional means while additions are new. + dealing with heritage area open to a progressive approach, learning new tools for 3D animation, renderings – noisy political and ecological controversy around the mining investment; until projects are about saving, preserving, building, we are in
