With: ARGE ifau, HEIDE & VON BECKERATH

Initiated by the architects ARGE ifau | HEIDE & VON BECKERATH and building cooperative Berlin eG, this project combines working and living, including studios and flats for owner-occupiers, social housing apartments, and retail spaces. Adapted to the needs of artists and other cultural producers, the 66 floor-plans for apartments offer varying typologies, can be combined with one another and are occupant-oriented. 17 studios and commercial units are designed as ‘blanks’, to be fitted according to the different needs of individual occupants. The decision-making process determining the type and position of communal facilities and the development of a binding standard for fittings took place in close collaboration with the building group.
