Villa Extension
The design of the extension to the villa was a challenging process since the new program is twice as big as the main historic villa. To make a functional extension and at the same time respect the historic villa, we propose an equal relationship between the villa and the new garden house. From the historic lakeside, we maintain the historic view with the iconic villa in the foreground overlooking the prominent landscape. From the entrance side, the garden house is put forward marking a clear entrance and main entrance for the different users.

Human Scale
Living in the observation home the kids and families are met with a soft and human scale in harmony with the natural setting. The building is constructed and cladded in wood and the material gives a natural and warm atmosphere in and around the building.
