The key chall­enge in the project was to create a link between the exis­ting buil­ding and the new design, in order to keep a uniformal and consis­tent appearance. The debarked larch trunks, which were used as multi­func­tional façade elements for the exis­ting and new buil­ding, succeed in crea­ting this aesthe­tical connec­tion. The multi­func­tional façade elements of debarked larch trunks create an optical link between exis­ting and new, main­tai­ning the homo­ge­neous appearance of the project. They not only support the dyna­mics of the curved façade, but func­tion also as sunscreens, room divi­ders and rain protec­tors, further enhan­cing the feeling of privacy and in addi­tion to this forming the static basis for the canti­le­ve­ring pool and façade.
