The listed houses, built in the Biedermeier style in the 1830s, were in poor structural condition before the renovation. In addition to the necessary renovation, in which the houses were reduced to shell construction, the interior was adapted to the needs of the State Court and the original condition of the facades was restored.
The two-story foyer is located between the two houses. Due to the independent construction of the foyer room, which follows the principle of a table on four legs, the gable facades of the existing houses remain free.
This measure is intended to show that there were originally two free-standing houses that were not accessed from the street but from the space between them. The anti-reflective facade glass of the foyer supports the realization of this impression with its high level of transparency.
The interior of the State Court should appear contemporary and at the same time allow a clear echo of the Biedemeier period, an era that was characterized by objectivity and simplicity. In contrast to Baroque, for example, Biedermeier furniture was not painted and subsequently gilded, but was left in its materiality.
The craftsmanship and qualities in the production of an object should be expressed in their pure simplicity. The strong, monochrome colors of the wall surfaces were just as typical. The design of the new interior follows this set of rules: all doors and built-in furniture are made of transparent glazed oak. They are individually manufactured, precise in detail and sophisticated in terms of craftsmanship. Floors made of oak parquet and various types of natural stone as well as rich colors of the walls give the rooms their respective character.
