exhibition of a votive medal of kaiser wilhelm II. concept and design for the new city museum wiesbaden. study project
facade design
the exhibition in the new city museum wiesbaden hosts a medal of kaiser wilhelm II. because he played an important role in the history of wiesbaden. he was one of the most important sponsors of the city and due to him it was possible to build a lot of great buildings like the train station and the „kurhaus“. but not only his money, but his style shaped the architecture - so wiesbaden became of of the biggest spa cities and a city of the historism. since then nothing new happened in wiesbaden - and the city and its people are hiding behind its former glamour. the aim of the exhibition is to show both sides of wiesbaden - the glamorous side and the shabby side with its dirty backyards and poor people and to make the people think about what they can do to achieve the former glory.

theatre wiesbaden concept and design: modernisation of a theatre foyer. study project
floor plan theatre lounge
elevation media wall
the task was to find a method to give the foyer of the state theatre in wiesbaden a new atmosphere with not to many changes in the stock. the focus lies on the presentation of all required media in the foyer and a solution for the acoustic deficits. a newly drawn wall with an integrated media door serves not only as a tool for the selfpresentation of the theatre, but also makes the space variable for different numbers of visitors.

home for a sailor concept and design for a residential house at the grand canyon. study project
elevations
for a circumnavigator and her husband a residential house for their second half of life is being established on the cliffs of the grand canyon in arizona, usa. they were hoping for a place where they can find freedom, but also protection. the architecture of the house is inspired by the form of a boat that found its last anchorage between the rock formations and starts to blend in with the surroundings. the serving rooms like the bathrooms or the storage are located in the massive core of the building - without windows, covered with fibre cement - the served rooms - that is the bedroom and the living room are in the airy arms of the house - completely glazed and freely suspended. the boarders between inside and outside seem to be abolished. the construction made out of double-T beams and towing ropes in combination with floor to ceiling windows enables the residents with a free view over the grand canyon.

reinterpretation of the shaker-design concept and design: furniture design. study project
composition power rail
starting point for this design was the task to find a modern equivalent for the peg rail of the religious sect the shakers. it is a furniture which follows the principles of minimalism, reduction and simplicity. the result is a power rail, which leads through the whole room. a reliable and always available power source. any number of plugs can be used everywhere it is needed to provide electrical devices with power. especially for the popular apple products like iphone, ipod and ipad there are special charging modules, as well as other modules for storage and lighting.

sacred spaces concept and design of a mosque. study project
my interpretation of a mosque for muslims living in germany is based on the idea that religion has to adjust to today‘s life in order to stay important for the believers. religion and faith is getting something personal and individual - that‘s why a sacred place has to give different possibilities to let people exercise their faith. this thought is translated into shear walls. these walls form triangles which indicate the direction to mecca. these triangles are never closed on all three sides - this results in different rooms of different sizes big enough for one person to pray or up to 60 . through the transparency of the shear walls, the big room is captured as one entity despite all the subdivisions and symbolizes the community of believers.
