Description
A true marriage of old and new, The Barracks is an architectural masterpiece that thoughtfully blends historic character with contemporary design. The modern structure appears to float above the original parapet line, preserving the surrounding heritage streetscape and highlighting the nearby Lutheran Church dating back to the 18th century.

Inside the building, authentic yellowwood beams from the 1700s create a striking first impression. Exposed architectural details reveal natural clay brick, sea sand, and even seashell elements, creating subtle reminders of the building’s historical narrative. The result is a space where heritage and modern living coexist beautifully.
