Haus Hörn, 2013
Space forming extensions at the retirement home Haus Hörn in Aachen.
In order to enrich the living quality, a common room was created on each floor by merging two former residents’ rooms into one. The motives of the black / white photographs were thematically chosen to match the floor color, provoking a smile, memories and observations.
