Intarsia in Stone Revitalisation of the Falkenberg Castle Complex with a Conference Center / Brückner & Brückner Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 03:00:00 +0000

By the beginning of the 20th century, mere ruins of the majestic and historically multifarious Falkenberg castle complex, firmly situated on a throne of powerful slabs of granite rocks above the Waldnaab, remain. The castle, which was first mentioned in a document in 1154, owes its present form to Friedrich Werner Count von der Schulenburg, who had it rebuilt and extended with historical building materials. The count was a diplomat in the service of the German Empire and ambassador in Moscow from 1934 to the declaration of war in 1941. His wish to have the castle remodelled as his residence remained unfulfilled. A member of the resistance, he was executed on 10 November 1944 in Plötzensee in connection with the Stauffenberg assassination on 20 July 1944.

The completion of IGZ’s new main building on its extended campus is a significant step for the software company’s own economic positioning, as well as part of larger regional efforts to increase employment opportunities in rural areas. IGZ is a fast-growing company in IT logistics and Industry 4.0: part of the digital boom we have experienced since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the growing possibilities for innovative developments, fostered by European financial and economic support. What is more, the infrastructural measures put forward by individual municipalities to maintain and create jobs have an impact on the entire Upper Palatinate region. For these reasons, sustainable and innovative planning and construction were the centerpieces of the new IGZ Campus module in Falkenberg.

This is a summer villa celebrating the sun. From breakfast on the terrace facing east to dinner in the central outdoor space and spending the evening on the viewing terrace, the activities of the day follow the sun. The villa is carefully designed to open up views to the surrounding nature while protecting the privacy of the owners. Three house volumes frame the large terrace that all rooms face.
