Villa Wiesbaden
Wiesbaden, Germany
Type
YEAR
2012
This bold modern composition dramatically counterbalances the scale and massing of the main residence, an imposing three-storey villa, built in 1904.
As part of the building programme, the villa, which is subject to an historic preservation order, was completely renovated back to its original facade and internal floor plan. This involved painstakingly removing more than 80 years of minor alterations, inside and out, all conducted in close consultation with the local preservation authority. The subsequent clarification provided the basis for the new development.
In addition to its spacious, light-filled interiors, the extension's robust orthogonal form delivers a private outside area for each of the villa's three apartments, comprising two south-facing balconies on levels one and two, and a sunken courtyard for the lower ground floor. These vantage points reinstate the garden as an integral part of the property, as does a communal south-facing window elegantly framing views of the garden’s oak tree.
Intergal to the development is how old and new are subtly bound together via the site's entrance datum level. This sets the depth of the base on which the contemporary block sits. A finishing layer of concrete applied to both the villa's pedestal and the extension's base reinforces the shared plinth motif.
