Details
Founder's villa - the future needs a past. The previous home of the company founder, Albrecht Jung, in Schalksmühle, has found a new purpose as a think tank and meeting and service centre for the JUNG brand. For the conversion and extension of the historic villa from 1928, an open competition for new architect firms was run at the beginning of 2017. The subject of the competition was the retention and transformation of the founder's villa and the construction of a new detached building.
The Jury‘s Statement
The transformation of the historic founder’s villa»JUNG« into a modern meeting and service center was successful at a high design level and shows how attractive preserving cultural heritage can be for creating modern working environments.
