in the garden, wf mechanik
Vahrn, Italy
the addition of new attached volumes for the wf mechanic building was the main idea of this project. by using these elements, the existing building acquires a new appearance without changing its structure. To underline the existing structure, it was covered with a rough white plaster. Two glass cubes placed in the ground floor sprout from the façade, whereas a black metal cube grows out from the upper floor, in contrast with the existing façade. Two green-covered stripes visually elongate the glass volumes and limit the slightly sloped building entrance space. Indoors a free floorplan, a play of materials and views towards the surrounding landscape. External materials are also present inside: rough white plastering, black ceilings, oak pavements, wooden furniture and steel window frames create a field of chromatic tension.
