The new extension building of Hotel Sonne, realized in 2017, is centrally located on Peter Mitterhofer Place in Partschins. Considered as an independent building, it only is connected by a bridge to the existing hotel. The Rasner House, formerly located at this place, was demolished in 2012 in order to create parking space for the existing Hotel Sonne. The new structure with its location specific saddle roof and the natural wooden elements integrates perfectly into the original village’s structure and provides the building with a traditional appearance. Towards the village center the facade opens up to a bar area with a large glass surface which appears to be a flowing transition to the interior. The south facade is generously glazed which allows a breathtaking panorama to Adige Valley. The modern rooms also feature well-chosen traditional elements which harmonize well with the overall concept of the design.
The Saint-Isidore district is within the scope of the Operation of National Interest of the Plaine du Var, the site is therefore part of the project of eco-valley that puts sustainable development at the top of the concerns of the mastery of work as mastery of work.
Our clients in Amsterdam gave us the opportunity to make a design for their home, do the elaboration and guide the project until completion. They live in a beautiful and popular antebellum residential block with a large courtyard garden, which is divided in private backyards. This spacious backyard provided the ideal opportunity to transform the already beautiful dwelling into a contemporary family house. We created a large entrance, many bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a beautiful, light-flooded, kitchen.
At the edge of every city there are sparsely populated areas with various industrial and commercial buildings and warehouses. The houses are practically indistinguishable from one another, often built in simple materials and using the same jargon. Areas like these are problematic for a number of reasons, and yet they are accepted as an unavoidable part of the urban nature, not unlike a paunch in middle age or rubbish outside of an ice cream dealer in the summertime.
The competition winning entry for the new Marseille Airport extension was revealed today at a grand ceremony in the presence of JC Gaudin, Mayor of Marseille; Renaud Muselier, President of the region; Martine Vassal, President of the Departmental Council; JL Chauvin, President of the Chamber of Commerce, and several other dignitaries.

For the extension of this house in the famous Dutch flowerbulb area, derksen|windt architecten made a design based on the experience of the transition from the inside to the outside. The old house (the inside) and the garden with the flowerbulb fields behind it (the outside) are beautifully connected by this distinctive and sharply detailed extension.

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.
Voordorp is a neighbourhood in Utrecht. The area was designed in the 90’s by several architects. Responsible for the supervision was the architect Theo Bos. He won the Rietveld prize for architecture for his urban scheme. Characteristically for the scheme is the small-scaled structure with many corners, gardens, entrances and a lot of new extensions which fit quite well in the architecture of the area.
Located in a tiny village facing salt marshes on the French Atlantic coast, this wooden house extension is a modest holiday home and a writer’s retreat. The client’s idea for this project was born several years ago when saving a few old, massive oak beams from the demolition of a neighboring farm. The idea appealed to us but it was all we knew when we first visited the site.
Phase II of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum is conceived of as a natural extension of the original museum designed by Gehry Partners in 1993.
Phase II provides an additional 8,553 square feet of exhibition space on the north and east sides of the existing building.
On the southeast corner of the existing building, new gallery space is articulated as three rectangular volumes clad in the same brick as that used on the existing building. The new gallery space will provide the museum with space appropriate for the exhibition of works on paper, American art, and ceramics while animating the east side of the building that faces Coffman Memorial Plaza. These new galleries provide different scales and spatial relationships than the existing galleries, offering the museum increased flexibility in the planning of exhibitions.
