Hof O | MOSER UND HAGER Architekten
Austria / 2015
HISTORY
In its original typology, Hof O is a classic “Dreiseithof” (three-sided farmyard). Renovations that took place in the past resulted in a combined living and working area in the form of an “Einspringerhof”.
TASK DESCRIPTION
Our task is to uncover the well-preserved substance of the building and to harmoniously integrate additional room into the existing structure.
IDEA
The traditional “Hofabschluss” (closure of the yard) including wall and gate is reinterpreted as an entry zone made of glass. This gives the existing vault and impressive wood construction new visual power. The new construction adds to the singularity of the original substance and creates a harmonic and sharpened overall image.
