在废弃的宽敞旧农舍上，插入一个紧凑的混凝土体，剩余的空间开辟成花园–树影婆娑，古墙恒久，流光游转。绝世的庇护所！

Where in the past a small square marked the medieval gateway to the old town district of Ennsdorf, the garden house stands today. Arisen from an old farmhouse which was entirely ruinous it shapes the counterpart of the historical tollhouse. The traces of the past have slightly vanished, the wayside shrine, that once stood impressive in front of the tollhouse’s gable wall, has been moved to the right. The hedges have become too close to the free area.

业主希望有一片可以沉浸其中，但同时又开放的领域。这里要绿意盎然，适合举行讲座，讨论等一系列的活动。建筑师将农舍原有的围墙保留下来，在农舍的一侧插入一个混凝土盒子，利用农舍的最底层作为部分建筑面积的分摊，而上层，混凝土新体量旁边的空间则开辟成一个小院子（屋顶花园）。

The newbuilt garden wall follows the narrow contours of the Haratzmüllerstraße and recesses in alignment with the tollhouse’s gable. Thereby the suggestion of a larger square appears and the entrance to the garden house, which one can feel from outside as lush greens only, becomes clearly visible as a simple corner of the square.With its barriers the site ensures calmness but at the same time is open for guests who’d like to immerse into a place of being. We call it garden house because this describes the atmosphere of fusing intense green and space. The content is discribed by Refugium for retreating, Laboratorium for creative workshops, lectures and discussions, and Klausur for private viewings and small cultural events such as vernissages and concerts.
