The guest house in Lanersbach was built in 1910 as one of the region’s first places of accommodation. It had been necessary to modernise the small log cabin with the guest and private areas not being separate areas. The sensitive extension in the form of a cube matches the existing buildings concept and orients its materiality on the surrounding area’s farm houses.

The very compact albeit, at the same time, very pervious ensemble close to the Old Town is home to a 10 class middle school, the Hall gymnastics association and the ice sports centre, thus having to combine various functions. In order to preserve as much as possible of the existing green spaces, the southern part of the lot only got an underground building, while all "daylight” functions are concentrated in a single transparent building that takes in, as it were, as much as possible of the surrounding landscape.
