The Wohlfahrt-Laymann Residence by Meixner Schlüter Wendt is so brilliantly executed I almost cannot believe it. The original cottage within is the site for a series of excavations and interventions that link it to the new exterior skin, preserving it in its new altered form and program. The interior court for the front facade twists the ownership of the exterior and claims the yard for the double house. I love that the cottage was also painted white to clear it of its past and renew it as near-artificial artifact of its previous self.
