01
Project Details
The conversion of three interconnected townhouses into a centre for craft, photography and public workshops.
A new public courtyard unites buildings from different periods without forcing them into a single language. Existing stone rooms are repaired and left legible; contemporary additions use pigmented concrete and slender bronze frames. The ground floor remains porous throughout the day, connecting workshops, café and street.
