A direct contention with the original castle evokes many different innovative approaches regarding the new architecture. The newly added architectural elements are creating a variety of different spatial situations inside the 500-year-old masonry. The attic can be experienced as the high room it used to be, giving an open view of the original wooden construction. The design lays an overall focus on the “Room within a room”- concept, using distinct cubic chambers on the inside that are detached from the exterior walls.
