Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECT:
Sonnenhof consists of four new buildings with office and
residential spaces. Located on a consolidated number of smaller lots in the
historical center of Jena, Germany, the separate structures allow for free
access through the grounds. Their placement on the outer edges of the plot
defines a small-scale outdoor space congruent with the medieval city structure.
Its outdoor facilities continue the building’s overall design concept past the
edges of the lot. The planned incorporation of commerce, residence, and office
enables a flexible pattern of use that also integrates itself conceptually into
the surroundings.
