Heneghan Peng Architects renovated a former clay oven factory, and transformed it into the museum of the city of Lahr, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The project consists of two main actions, where the first is a restoration of the existing building, while the second is a new construction containing the stairs.

The architects shaped and designed the new Tonofenfabrik Museum to meet the needs of the community-run institution. Giving recognisability to the Tonofenfabrik Museum is the sharp new volume, cladded in pigmented concrete with a rugged finish; its terracotta tone recalls both the existing building and the remains of the adjacent Storchenturm, a medieval castle. Included in the renovation project, a regeneration of the surrounding public open space has been developed by the Berlin-based firm.

This connection with the public dimension has been further enriched through the design of the ground floor, an area that is open to the public. Visitors can therefore access the foyer, the cafè, the museum shop, and an exhibition area – where part of the permanent exhibition is on display – without any ticket.
