Project Description
Project description provided by CUKROWICZ NACHBAUR ARCHITEKTEN - The neo-classical semi-detached house with adjoining large stable barn, a small wash house and a shooting lodge was built in 1837 by master builder Joseph Anton Seger from Vaduz. The listed farmstead on Feldkircher Straße served as a K&K post office from 1864 to 1912, providing postal services for the entire Liechtenstein lowlands. The historic ensemble will be preserved, supplemented by a new courtyard house and will provide a new venue for the International Academy of Music Liechtenstein with its successful masterclasses for talented young musicians from the region and international countries of origin. The rooms and atmosphere of the residential building have been largely retained and are now used by music students as overnight accommodation and practice rooms, while the attic is used as a professorial loft. The stable barn, built in the style of a pillar barn, has been adapted as a concert hall for chamber music. The historic timber panelling on the façade was reinterpreted using adjustable wooden slats. The new courtyard house takes on foyer and service functions and forms the social centre of the ensemble as a communal lounge. All buildings are characterised by a uniform material language and are grouped around a courtyard square as a common centre. Various garden themes complement the open spaces and link the entire complex with the landscape.
