The coach house, protected as a monument, is being restored and given a new interior. The current extension on the south side of the historic volume will be replaced by a new volume.

The coach house consists of several linked volumes, dating back to the early 18th century, with a final extension dating back to the 20th century. The use of the building as a multi-purpose hall will be retained.

For the new interventions, we opted for a clear form language and material use. The new volume will have two curtain walls facing the castle and the pond. Two architectural interventions in the existing volume optimise both the appearance and the functionality of the building.
