j. mayer h. builds home in germany using staggered concrete cubes

located in northern germany, j. mayer h. has completed the extension and renovation of casa.morgana on a site surrounded by nature. considering the neighboring late 19th century architecture, the new intervention to the existing building instead creates a striking contrast to the context. formed as an ‘abstract volumetric study’, the design makes reference to the brutalist aesthetic that was prominent at the time of the original construction of the house.
