When the client acquired the property with its heterogeneous buildings in 2006, he also had a mix of crafts, arts, cultural activities and residential use in mind.
A conversion and extension concept was developed in close consultation with the district and senate heritage protection authorities, in which only two small parts of the building from the 1960s were removed. Generously glazed attic storeys were sensitively added, some of which echo the cubature of the pitched roofs destroyed during the war. The only completely new building in the ensemble is the five-storey firewall development, the top storey of which cantilevers out towards the park at the rear.
The art is by Karl Menzen, Berlin.
