A mass grave, uncovered in 2011, containing 47 skeletons of soldiers who fell in 1632, will be the centerpiece of the exhibition in a new museum building at the Gustav Adolf Memorial in Lützen. The museum will architecturally complement the memorial site dedicated to the Swedish King Gustav Adolf, who fell during the Battle of Lützen. In addition to the cast-iron canopy by Karl Friedrich Schinkel from 1837, the chapel designed by Swedish architect Lars Wahlman from 1907, and two log cabins from 1932 and 1982, the new museum will primarily commemorate the thousands of soldiers who lost their lives in this significant battle of the Thirty Years’ War.

Near Lorient, a house enjoys a prime location close to the mouth of the Laïta River and cliffs revealing beaches open to the Atlantic Ocean. Upon acquiring it, the owner wished to add two bedrooms to the existing structure to accommodate family and visiting friends. The project achieved more than this functional addition: it created an entrance patio, a terrace, a storage canopy, reorganized the house around a new entrance, opened the kitchen to the living room, added a mezzanine envisioned as a suspended cabin with a “habitable” window framing a distant view of Groix Island, optimized a walk-in closet to expand an existing bedroom, and combined two small attic rooms to form a large bedroom-office, like a “suite” nestled in the heights, sheltered from view.
