Redesign of the town square in Kappel am Krappfeld

Before the renovation, the center of Kappel lacked cohesion, with fragmented open spaces between the church, elementary school, and fire department. The new 12 × 25 m town square creates a unified, spacious area that connects these key buildings. A pavilion-like structure on the northeastern edge provides a spatial closure while serving as a multifunctional shelter, waiting area, and stage. The square is framed by local deciduous trees, offering a permeable boundary and seasonal color accents through their foliage and blossoms.
