Als erster Schritt der Transformation der Borghardtstiftung zu Stendal soll ein Stiftungssaal aus Stampflehm ein neues Gesicht zur Stadt und gleichzeitig das Herz der Anlage bilden.

Museumpark Incheon is conceived as an open cultural landscape that bridges the site’s industrial past with South Korea’s vertical urban development. Located on the former OCI factory grounds, the park remains fully accessible to the public and reinterprets the relationship between city, architecture, and nature. The concept “49 Walls” reflects Seoul’s urban condition by translating historical spatial patterns into new architectural elements that structure the park and create spaces for art, interaction, and informal use.

Existing structures, including the former OCI Factory building, are transformed into a generous entrance hall and cultural hub, preserving the site’s industrial memory. The museums evolve from historical traces of former settlements and production areas, offering varied spatial experiences, natural light, and flexible exhibition spaces. Defined yet adaptable, Museumpark Incheon fosters unplanned encounters, community activities, and continuous change—inviting the public to engage, exhibit, perform, and shape the space over time.

The added volume extends the apartment on the first floor and upgrades all three apartments with additional outdoor areas. With the ‚Veranda' a key feature of the existing buildings architecture is taken up. It serves as a sheltered reception room, outdoor dining area in summer and storage space during winter, support the interactive live in the multigenerational house. 

Materiality and construction reference the 1950s building, with exposed concrete complementing the rough plaster façade while improving seismic and thermal performance. Reused and up-cycled interior materials emphasize a sustainable approach. The extension remains deliberately subordinate, strengthening the overall architectural clarity.
