Alpenstadt Museum Sonthofen / Andreas Ferstl Architekten

Urban Development And Exterior Design. The new museum ensemble with its building structure fits into the small-scale structure of Sonthofen's inner city and thus continues to write the history of the place: The typical local design of gabled houses built directly next to each other is reinterpreted, creating a varied roofscape that structures the building and adapts it to its surroundings in terms of scale. New open spaces with different qualities have been created around the museum: At the Kirchplatz, a historic urban situation is restored. The Rapphaus has received a structural extension through the new building, which closes the square façade and divides the building into a main and a service section as in the past. Today, the main entrance to the museum is located there. To the east, the new museum courtyard is an inviting place to spend time. It is a meeting place and event area. In the south, the old farm garden will be preserved and will once again be an important part of the museum tour.
