Ahrenshoop Art Museum Read more

The key to the architectural concept we proposed for the new art museum can be found in the history of the Ahrenshoop artists’ colony. Despite the thoroughly contemporary style espoused by the artists working here, a deep bond with the landscape and the historic building traditions of this region can be felt both in their works and in their homes. The proposed concept therefore represents an attempt to transform this rural building type into a modern museum structure. 
Starting from the image of a group of thatched-roof houses, a constellation of one-room buildings has been developed whose size is based on the particle size of the actual exhibition rooms. With its irregularly corrugated metal facade—reminiscent of the texture of thatching—the building integrates itself seamlessly into its environment and simuntaneously generates a new symbol for this nationally significant museum.
