The building of the parish property is a former farmhouse, consisting of living and economy part of the 19th century. It stands with its eastern façade directly on the historic walls of the church and therefore provides optimum conditions, to complement the church area as a parish center. The program includes a 90 m2 large parish hall with kitchen and storage room, a meeting room, locations for the youth, offices and an apartment.
A hall of this size requires a large intrusion into the structure of the building. The middle of the 20th century instead of the barn created concrete and brick structures had to be canceled and offers space in its new form for the room on the level of the church square and other larger rooms on the ground floor. The new facade of glass and wood will again highlight the original division of the building in residential and part of the economy. In the former residence, floor height are raised on contemporary dimensions, the original image of the facade was retained in large extent. In consultation with the cantonal department of monument preservation, it was also possible to open the hall through the historic church wall to the church square. The copper frame, which pierces the wall, finds himself around the building with all new openings.
The uses are clearly distributed throughout the building: the small, more private spaces (offices and apartment) can be found in the original house, the larger, public spaces (multipurpose room, youth room and hall) get their place in the larger, higher areas of the new building part. The staircase is located at the interface of the two parts and from there it can serve all uses. Also the materialization supports the former structure of the building. Hard concrete floors, rough lime plaster and plywood surfaces in the former barn are facing traditional oak parquet floors and white plaster walls in the former residence.
The wood casing of the barn should generate a regular surface on the one hand and on the other hand allow enough light into the underlying spaces. Boards formwork with ornamental side cut-outs, which allow a certain amount of light and air to the underlying premises, are recurring in the village core. This motif is picked up with the façade of the parish centre and developed in order to allow the boards a satisfying exposure of the rooms behind.
