Two existing buildings in an uncomfortable relationship. One looks centuries old and the other is proudly modernistic, however they were both built in the seventies. An impossible circulation inside and a hodgepodge of mismatched levels.

 

Our strategy is simple – A surgical cut is made and a new thin volume is squeezed in between the two existing structures. A simple but smart volume, wishing to solve all the problems of the existing. 10% added allows to keep and reactivate 90% of the existing built matter. A clean cut that leaves us craving for a club sandwich.
