The living and working place for people in need of care was built in the 1970s as a gesamtkunstwerk in anthroposophical design language in the middle of the landscape around lake of constance, thurgau. Now a new restaurant building is to become the centre of social life.
The dining hall stages the landscape: a columned hall made of ash wood, self-bracing, open all around, stands on a concrete base that grows out of the slightly sloping terrain.
The furniture was developed especially for this project. More about it under wimm.ch.
Material Used:
1. Upper Part, Structure: massive ash wood
2. Lower Parts of the Facade: recycled concrete
3. Roof: standing seam copper roof
4. Floor: terrazzo
5. Windows: painted wood
