Article source: Ederer+Haghirian The extension of the court house in Deutschlandsberg (Austria) sets a clear break with the existing historical building. A glass gap, which reflects the environment, forms a point of contact between the historical part and the addition of the court house.  Image Courtesy © Alexander Gebetsroither

In this way the historical parts are continued, and the extension can be observed as an independent building.

On a sunny evening the courthouse appears in a soft pink, wereas on a cold austrian winter morning it rather seems to be painted in a subtle apricot. The \”backside“ of the old court house gets an upgrade in cause of the new part. The new building develops a square between the church and itself.  Image Courtesy © Alexander Gebetsroither
