Architect Tilla Theus opted for colour-anodised aluminium, a light, durable and maintenance-free material, as punched wooden shuttering as used in the old hay barns is not durable enough. "Shapes of the ploughshare and vine knife were lasered out of the metal shingles. Then, the punctual and invisible mounting of the metal elements on the underlying façade level was crucial in the process", comments the metal construction company Scherrer Metec AG.
