The project for the redesign of the House of the Village Community encompasses several essential aspects focusing on functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.
**Integration into the Village:**
The existing House of the Village Community is complemented by a simple wooden structure, simplifying the massive facade. The aim is to achieve a calm and straightforward facade appearance that gives the building a restrained presence despite its height and volume. The new building is intended to exude a sovereign and elegant presence that harmoniously blends into the village environment.
**Functionality and Organization:**
The building is accessed through existing main staircases, with rational layout of access areas. It includes a doctor’s practice on the ground floor, spaces for the municipal administration, a hall, and a kindergarten on the upper floors. The sanitary facilities are compactly arranged and designed to be accessible to all, ensuring ease of use.
**Renovation and New Construction:**
The architectural features of the existing building are accentuated by measures such as simplifying the building envelope and dismantling complex structures. The new extension is constructed in wood, formally adapting to the solid construction of the existing building. This creates a harmonious unity and underscores the building’s evolution through the use of honest and legible materials.
**Outdoor Area Design:**
The space in front of the building is designed as a traffic-calmed area, with the roadway paved with natural stone cubes. This promotes slower traffic speeds and creates a communal space that seamlessly integrates with the House of the Village Community.
**Material and Atmosphere:**
The House of the Village Community aims to create a pleasant atmosphere, characterized by the interplay between wood and solid construction. The interiors of the kindergarten are designed in environmentally conscious wooden construction, while the municipal administration spaces impress with clarity and simplicity.
**Sustainability and Energy Efficiency:**
The building is designed to be energy-efficient, adhering to contemporary construction principles. The use of proven materials and a compact building design contribute to efficiency and meet high sustainability standards. Installing a solar panel system on the roof could further reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Overall, the project aims to create a modern and functional center for the village community, which is aesthetically pleasing, sustainable, and meets the diverse needs of its residents.
