The iconic Grade 1 listed building complex ‘Verbandshaus der Deutschen Buchdrucker’ by Max Taut, built in the 1920s, consists of a residential front building and a rear building originally accommodating the printing workshops and an assembly hall. The currently unused top storey of the front building with a large terrace facing the street was historically used as a drying loft and will now be converted into atelier studio spaces. In this course the building envelope will be energetically renovated and the internal spaces carefully refurbished and remodelled. In the rear building, two currently unused spaces, originally built as ateliers, will be renovated and altered to meet the current fire protection requirements. New building elements are carefully inserted within the existing building structure and are in full compliance with the listed building requirements.
