Text description provided by the architects. Located in Berlin-Wedding the multi-use atelier and gallery building combines different forms of usage. Although the area has no binding land-use plan a regulation from 1958 only permits the construction of commercial buildings. Yet at the same time an ongoing grandfather clause also ensures that the area remains essentially a residential zone. In this context the special status allows for a new building to be constructed which serves as a commercial building but could become a residential site in the future. The project engages with the unique qualities of the location.

这座建筑的目的是激发周边建筑的类型更新 ， 即建造于上世纪初的住宅和攀爬大厅 。 该场地面向郊区铁路轨道 ， 并且南侧有着宽阔的视野 。 建筑的平面布局相互错开 ， 形成退台形态 ， 每个楼层的退台约6米 ， 地面层是半公共空间 ， 这样让建筑看起来通透一些 。 向南侧偏移的下部楼层形成了7.5米深的灰空间人行步道 ， 这在地面层的展览空间前侧成为了半公共广场 。
