We decided to keep the original historic building intact, only removing the heavy stone floor slabs that were causing the massive timber structure of the old building to subside.

The outline of the extension follows the form of the existing museum.

On outside, the extension roof follows the line of the existing historic building. Inside, the extension is its own independent space.
