VPS is a Zurich-based office for architecture founded by Florian von Planta and Ansgar Stadler. The practice 
operates at the intersection of design, structure, economy, climate, and energy, developing architecture through 
close interdisciplinary collaboration and precise spatial thinking. VPS seeks to establish architecture as an integrative 
process in which typology, construction, environmental performance, and economic logic are considered 
simultaneously rather than sequentially.

BEYOND THE HORIZONBeyond the Horizon is a cultural museum in Kuressaare conceived from a brief by the Louis Kahn Foundation Estonia. The project explores light and shadow, movement and stillness, and the relationship between landscape, time, and architecture. 

Responding to Saaremaa's northern light, the design uses the horizon as both a physical and conceptual framework. The museum is composed of three interdependent elements: stone wall cores, a self-supporting winged roof, and sculpted topography. Rotated wall cores organize circulation and exhibition spaces, while the roof carefully modulates daylight to shape the atmosphere of each room. A circular landscape depression anchors the building, creating courtyards and reflective water surfaces that respond to changing water levels. This gesture establishes a dialogue with Kuressaare Castle, appearing as a geometric counterpoint from afar and a reflective horizon upon approach.
