Das Siedle Haus

The project is a museum building for the art collection of Gabriele and Horst Siedle. The ground floor of the building will be used as an exhibition space and meeting place, while the basement will house storage and technical facilities. A 3D model of the dilapidated residential building that was previously on the site was created with the help of photographic scans and transferred to the formwork planning. The new reinforced concrete structure is therefore an exact reproduction of the former building. The timber roof, which will be erected on top of this concrete structure, is modeled on the typical roofs of Black Forest houses, thus making a reference to the region and its history.

The roof was designed as a folded structure based on a pitched roof, using a full-section beam structure. The roof structure rests on the concrete body on the inside and on glulam façade columns integrated into the reinforced concrete wall of the building substructure on the outside.

The facades are a mullion and transom construction on a 2.77 metre grid with triple insulating glazing. The transoms along the base follow the slope of the site. A key design feature of the façade is elements integrated into the glass plane to reduce solar gain and provide glare control.
