The historic Zehntenscheune in Dietikon, dating from 1600, has been carefully restored and converted into a public event venue. The project combines a respectful approach to the historic building fabric with contemporary architectural interventions. The existing carpentry construction remains largely visible and now defines the event space for around 120 people. Through targeted additions and precise craftsmanship, a contemporary cultural space with strong atmospheric quality has emerged.
