About
The Villa rustica near Lauffen am Neckar was a Roman estate with four buildings, dating back to around 150 AD. It was abandoned around 260 AD during the Limesfall. The site features well-preserved remains, including a sophisticated water supply system and a bathing facility. It is accessible to visitors but lacks facilities. Artifacts from the site are housed in a local museum.
Our assignment is to design and build a visitor centre on the land to the south of the car park. This centre will serve as an informative hub for visitors and tourists seeking an insight into the Roman estate.
