Maison L / Kawahara Krause Architects

The remodeling of an old stone house in western France was to give the house a new order, make it more spacious inside, but at the same time preserve its very own character. The house from 1850 and some lower annexes form a courtyard, through which it is accessed. Behind the house is the garden. The building ensemble is built in local stone, the main house has wooden ceilings. Before the remodeling, the inside was divided into small-cell rooms with thin, non-load-bearing walls in contrast to the very thick, solid exterior walls.

Belvedere was built in Hamburg’s central park Planten un Blomen as part of the “Hamburger Architektur Sommer” (the Hamburg architecture triennial) and to mark the 30th anniversary of the city partnership between Hamburg and Osaka. Designed by Kawahara Krause Architects and with a colour concept by Japanese artist Nobuko Watabiki, the pavilion functions as an interaction of art and architecture and creates a quiet retreat in the fluid space of the vast park. As a public platform it invites visitors to enjoy and experience new perspectives of this popular and familiar park.

Garden Folly / Kawahara Krause Architects

The felling of an expansive tree in a private garden in Southern Germany left a huge gap on the site boundary overgrown densely with high bushes and trees. For this gap a structure was designed occupying the space without closing it off. In the shape of a classical garden shed the Garden Folly merges well into its dense green surroundings, creating a place to sit outside in the garden but at the same time being inside.

The starting points for this project were two completely independent circumstances. One was a heap of firewood in the client's garden that needed a place to be stacked and dried. The other was the wish of the religious clients for a place of contemplation and prayer in their house.
