Stuttgart, Germany
We are a planning manufacturer that works between contemporary action and tradition. We see the individuality of each project as the driving force behind our architectural engagement with different disciplines. In this context, we always try to continue the adventure of architecture with fresh ideas. Architecture is created in our planning workshop for the cultural resource of local craftsmanship and material resources, which eludes the material-hungry ‘normal building’ on empty land plots.

Extensions against further surface sealing


K59 – sustainable renovation and roof extension in copper

Extensions against further surface sealing


K59 – sustainable renovation and roof extension in copper
Contemporary reinterpretation of a roof extension as a ‘fifth façade’ with sustainable copper skin to prevent further surface sealing in growing cities.

Type of project
  • Site-specific cases

This is a one-of-a-kind project in Stuttgart, Germany. The roof provides space for a shared apartment as a contemporary reinterpretation in the sense of densification.
The roof is the result of a search for forms, which explores the historical context in coordination with the city planning department and the limits of today's building regulations, as well as formulating the ‘fifth façade’.
Visible across the valley, the copper-clad roof blends in with the building ensemble over time and the constantly changing colors of the patina.
A wooden construction with cellulose insulation forms the framework for the rebated copper skin, which absorbs movements in changing climatic conditions and ensures sustainable use of the resources that are (yet) available to us.
The interpretation of the roof with a contemporary design vocabulary gives the almost 130-year-old building a sustainable and future-proof identity, which eludes the material-hungry ‘normal building’ on empty land plots.

Visible from across the Stuttgart valley, the copper-clad roof blends in with the building ensemble over time and the constantly changing colors of the patina. Vis versa the view across the valley is unique.

The roof is the result of a search for forms, which explores the historical context in coordination with the city planning department and the limits of today's building regulations, as well as formulating the “fifth facade” for the eye.

The local craftsmanship takes place under the aspect of durability and is based on traditional craftsmanship. The rebated copper skin, which absorbs movements even in changing climatic conditions ensures a sustainable use of the resources that are (yet) available to us and is crafted without any glued fixations to enable a varietal reconversion of materials in the far future.

The design language is consistently thought through right down to the inside and shows a formulation on the room edges and designed built-in furniture such as the kitchen.

The design language is also visible in the exposed interior space of the oriel window which provides a tremendous view across the Stuttgart valley.
