Year 2022

In the summer of 2022 a competition is announced for the construction of a new museum for a collection of paintings by the painter Alexander Köster, known for his depictions of ducks, and other painters of the Klausen artists‘ colony from the early 20th century. The site of the museum is the garden of the former Capuchin monastery, which is located directly on the Tinne brook. The concept is to create a youth museum that will attract school classes and young families in particular. The aim of our design was to preserve as far as possible the monastery garden, which is highly appreciated by the people of Klausen. We proposed a scenic and inconspicuous building with a walkable roof, with complex and varied spatial situations inside. As part of the two-person design team, i have been involved in the whole design process from the beginning, in weekly consultations with two of the office managers.

The Workshop in the south wing is of central importance: accessible to all visitors (also in separate operation), it is intended to provide the opportunity to become artistically active oneself. The open space with floor-to-ceiling glazing on two sides facing the inner courtyard and the kindergarten in the south offers maximum outdoor space access here. The museum parcour is fanned out in the west wing and offers a variety of spatial situations and a wide range of visual relationships.
