Description

The listed Casino Tower in Ehnen has been reactivated without being touched. Rather than restoring, the project has inserted a second, autonomous tower within the existing shell. The monument has been carefully repaired using traditional techniques, while the new structure asserts a precise, contemporary language. Made of welded solid steel, it concentrates access, services and living space into a compact vertical system. The stair thickens into infrastructure, embedding all technical functions. What appears as an object becomes a reversible device: the historic envelope remains intact, while the programme operates independently within.
