The southern volume is oriented towards the Mäckinger stream. The glazed facade establishes a flowing transition between interior and exterior, between the cantilevered roof and the longitudinal platform elevated above the water. The bright interior of the museum shop, most of which is enclosed by glazed facades, contains two built-in structures with ticket booth and office spaces. A second facade layer consisting of expanded metal serves as a filter that offers protection from direct sunlight. The closed building components feature a wood frame construction clad in galvanised sheet steel.
Due to the black aluminium composite panels mounted to the lateral and longitudinal sides of the shed roofs, their characteristic wedge shape can be easily recognised. Along the underside of the timber roof structure, continuous metal grating visually connects the antespace of the platform and the museum shop. For optimal use of the photovoltaic panels, the roof surface features a corresponding inclination and orientation. The deep overhangs offer sun and weather protection to the areas for waiting and bordering the stream, where the path to the museum through the elongated terrain begins. SD
