Element & Lingot Building / Studio Loes

"Build less, much less, but dense, valuable and durable!" writes the architect and building historian Vittorio Magnago Lumpugnani in his latest essay “Gegen Wegwerfarchitektur” ("Against Throwaway Architecture"). A plea that the architects of STUDIO LOES also endorse: Their ensemble "Element & Lingot" has been extending an existing residential building from the Wilhelminian and post-war periods with a garden house in the inner courtyard ("Element") and four roof extensions on the existing buildings of the front and rear buildings ("Lingot") since summer 2023.
