Description submitted by the project team. After 30 years of vacancy, deterioration and fire damage, new life was given to the last unrenovated warehouses of the old slaughterhouse, listed as historical monuments. Rehabilitation and structural and physical improvement in accordance with the requirements of a listed building were equivalent to a completely new building in terms of technical and financial expenditure.

The result of the metamorphosis of slaughterhouses used on an industrial scale, built at the turn of the century, to the current demands and expectations of modern offices and special spaces with a historical connection speaks for itself. The careful transformation of the buildings into the new phase of use, in which even individual graffiti was preserved as evidence of the temporary (illegal) use typical of Berlin, demonstrates once again the importance of preserving and continuing to use the historic fabric of the buildings . The pavilions not only adapt to new uses, but also give the themes of work, communication, quality of stay, identity and diversity a unique and distinctive dimension.

The installation of new gallery levels in the pavilions, the careful accentuation and exposure of the structural features of the original pavilions and the structuring of the large surfaces create a playground for users that allows for identity-creating and customer-oriented office uses. future with a high degree of flexibility.
