Project
Halle an der Saale/Halle-Neustadt, Germany 2003
The concept of “Hotel Neustadt” was to turn a vacant high-rise into a temporary hotel. We transformed the abandoned business rooms on the ground floor into a temporary festival café. We had a palette of materials that included endless amounts of doors from similarly vacant prefab buildings, screws and some paints. We created a dynamic, meandering seating structure that winds itself around columns, extending the outside space, and is exclusively made of doors.
