The apartment building from the turn of the century had already been rebuilt in the post-war period. Now the existing attic space was to be transformed into an apartment for a family of four. Because the development plan allowed the roof volume to be maximized and this was necessary to meet the family's space requirements, the architects had the roof completely demolished and replaced with a new steel-wood hybrid construction. They inserted two levels one above the other, separated by solid wood ceilings that were left visible. The lower, lower level serves as a distribution level, storage space and accommodates a bedroom, while the upper level houses two further individual rooms and a compact work area.

The connecting link and spatial highlight of the composition is the two-storey living and dining area on the street side. It is supplied with daylight by two horizontal ribbon windows that extend across the entire width of the room. Opposite, towards the courtyard, folding glazing opens up to a recessed roof terrace. The sensitive lighting control is also continued in the individual rooms, which are given a more intimate atmosphere by individually positioned skylights. Monochrome white walls emphasize the abstract nature of the architecture and make daylight the defining element of the apartment.

The buildings of the English Arts and Crafts movement and German reform architecture with their central, high halls and colorful niches were the inspiration for the spatial concept of the kindergarten in Horn on the Swiss shore of Lake Constance. The volumetry of the building, on the other hand, is based on the surrounding ensemble of buildings consisting of a multi-purpose hall and janitor's bungalow from the late 1960s. As the smallest and youngest building block, the kindergarten was intended to fit into this overall picture - and continues it structurally with plastered brick walls and an exposed concrete roof.

Inside the kindergarten, a centrally lit, high room was created as the central classroom. It is surrounded by lower, enclosed side rooms and niches. The side rooms serve as a painting studio, storage room and checkroom, while the children can do handicrafts, read or cook in the open alcoves. The calm alternation of closed and large, glazed areas determines the appearance of the façade. Even more important for the spatial effect are the twelve roof openings, which bring light into the depths of the building. In order to install circular skylights under the square flat roof windows, craftsmanship was required. Liquid plaster was poured over a CNC-milled mold and reinforced with mesh. The skylights were assembled on site from the resulting quarter-circle elements.

For over 100 years, the local history museum in Bezau has been located in a typical Bregenzerwald house with shingle-clad facades and a broad gable. The square core of the building dates back to the 16th century and has been repeatedly extended and extended over the years. Innauer Matt have now added a three-storey extension to the building, which occupies the footprint of the former stable and thus restores the original proportions of the house. Inside, an artfully staged interplay of dark and light rooms with high and low ceilings unfolds, with light coming in alternately from above and from the side. The comparatively dark parlors and the corridor kitchen of the old building have been preserved in their original state.

The cash desk area, further exhibition rooms, WC and storage rooms are now located in the extension. Here too, the central area has relatively low ceilings, but thanks to the whitewashed spruce ceilings and walls, it has a completely different character to the old building. Light enters from above through skylights in two lateral, vertical room extensions and also illuminates the exhibition, filtered glare-free by wooden gratings. In addition, the high, motorized skylights are essential for the ventilation and cooling of the exhibition rooms. On the top floor, two high exhibition rooms, lit only from the gable ends, connect old and new.

The Pestalozzi School in Basel was built in 1891-93 according to plans by the cantonal architect Heinrich Reese. The canton of Basel-Stadt has since added it to the inventory of buildings worthy of protection. Its symmetrical main façade dominates St. Johanns-Platz at the western entrance to the old town. The school was previously renovated by Diener & Diener Architekten in 2003; in 2019, MET Architects from Basel were commissioned to adapt the building once again to the changed usage requirements and to renovate its energy efficiency.

A key part of the project was the conversion of the attic into classrooms for textile crafts, storage rooms for textiles and drawing and a media library. New, motorized skylights now bring light and air into the corridors and classrooms. They are barely visible from the street and were therefore accepted by the local heritage protection authority. But their effect is enormous: positioned at the base of the roof, they bring a soft working light into the rooms. In order to ventilate the attic rooms regardless of the weather and to ensure night-time cooling, the architects also added supply air openings in the roof's kneeling storey. They concentrated the exhaust air openings in three tower-like roof extensions, which were reconstructed based on original historical drawings.

The former Elisabethen rectory in Basel's city center was built in 1867 as a residence for the parish family and their employees. Three rooms were set up for them on the first of the two attic floors; the rest of the attic space was used for storage and utility purposes. The building had already been converted several times in the past to create additional apartments. Vécsey Schmidt Architects have now been commissioned to renovate the façade and roof of the listed building, convert the second floor and extend the attic storeys.

While the Belétage on the second floor was restored to a representative, uniform state, the architects set up their own studio under the roof. A renovated skylight, which has been upgraded to an invisible smoke extraction opening, illuminates the three flights of front stairs. Entering the attic space opens up another world: the historic roof truss, new roof elements made of untreated solid wood panels, old and new floorboards and reused attic doors define the atmosphere of the workspaces. Motor-controlled flat skylights with textile sun protection allow light into the depths of the room and help to cool the room at night. Smaller, manually operated windows in the pitched roof bring light directly to the workstations and provide views over the city. At the very top, the roof terrace invites you to take a lunch break. It can be reached via a wide opening exit window.
