The municipality of Inden is a small rural district with around 8,000 residents in the brown-coal fields of the Rhineland. The Inden opencast mine covers nearly two-thirds of the municipality’s land and is the primary economic force in the region. Beginning in 2030, the Inden mine will be subsequently turned into the Inden lake, which will be nearly the size of the Tegernsee.
Architecturally, the building is meant to conform with the built forms typical of the village. With little conversion or renovation effort, the building can be turned into a family apartment or vacation flat.
