To address the lack of space along with and the increased need for workshops and training rooms, the electrical technology center was expanded in two construction phases.

​

The challenge of the project was to create a uniform image that combined the aesthetics of the existing building dating from 1990, and the extension dating to 2004, with the new addition.

The floor-to-ceiling glace facade illuminates the environment and offers a spectacular view of the Römerkastel and the surrounding vineyards.

The issue of weight was a key factor in the choice of building materials as the structure of the existing floors would be supporting the new extension. 

 

The austerity of the metal mullion-transom facade with the steel structure and the ceiling of trapezoidal sheet metal emphasizes the technical character of the workshop.
