Sonnenhof

Four separated residential and office buildings centered around a common courtyard define a small-scale outdoor space congruent with the medieval structure of the city in this intervention just completed by J. Mayer H. Architects in Jena, Germany.

Sonnenhof consists of four new buildings with office and residential spaces designed by J. Mayer H. Architects in Jena, Germany.

Located on a consolidated number of smaller lots in the historical center of the city, the separate structures allow for free access through the grounds.

Their placement on the outer edges of the plot defines a small-scale outdoor space congruent with the medieval city structure. Its outdoor facilities continue the building’s overall design concept past the edges of the lot. The planned incorporation of commerce, residence, and office enables a flexible pattern of use that also integrates itself conceptually into the surroundings.
