A blessing for the community


Emerging from a competition win by our colleague Ingrid Dannecker, this house was shaped and thought through in intensive collaboration with the community. The inviting and open architecture reflects the life and nature of the community. The house welcomes you in and invites you to linger. A place for everyone, for diversity, community and retreat. Simplicity and naturalness in material and color as well as transparency on the outside and inside create the atmosphere.

Room to
romp around
Now it's getting colorful: in the integrated kindergarten the church mice take over and breathe pure joy into their rooms. Large windows flood the rooms with light and sun and extend them into the play landscape of the outdoor facilities. A friendly, understated architecture provides the optimal background for a colorful life.
