An L-shaped building replaces the old barn and encloses a courtyard together with the historic building. The natural stones of the barn are reused as façade infilling of the reinforced concrete skeleton. The residents’ rooms have a timber façade as well as timber folding shutters – a reminiscence to the rural neighbourhood.
