Start of construction for the Buchheim Museum der Phantasie

20 January, 2025

It’s happening: Start of construction for the Buchheim Museum der Phantasie: Refurbishment and Extension.
Starting February 3, 2025, the Buchheim Museum in Bernried will be closed for two months to make way for an expansion.

The expansion seeks to be compatible with the formal design of the existing building while also being mindful of its ecological footprint, consumption of resources, and potential for reuse. Various parameters such as the materials, construction, and joints are strategically coordinated and sparingly applied, with the design allowing for easy disassembly. As far as possible, materials and components from the existing building will be reused in the extension and placed in a new context. The planning follows a low-tech principle: in addition to green roofing and a photovoltaic (PV) system on top of the existing building, the design includes natural ventilation, efficient protection from the sun, and night flushing.
