This historic building functioned as a military school in the past was built in 1897. the original house was almost 100m long then an event hall was attached to it in 1926. In the following decades a new wing for further functions was joined. in this more recent alteration, the vision of practice Vikár & Lukács Architects Studio was to demolish the attached parts and rethink the building while retaining its original form. According to these plans it was completed with a glass facade parallel with the old building, making the new floor plan to meet the requirements of modern times.

Sonnenhof in Jena, Germany by J. MAYER H. Architects

Article source: J. MAYER H. Architects

Sonnenhof consists of four new buildings with office and residential spaces. Located on a consolidated number of smaller lots in the historical center of Jena, Germany, the separate structures allow for free access through the grounds. Their placement on the outer edges of the plot defines a small-scale outdoor space congruent with the medieval city structure. Its outdoor facilities continue the building’s overall design concept past the edges of the lot. The planned incorporation of commerce, residence and office enables a small-sectioned and flexible pattern of use that also integrates itself conceptually into the surroundings.
