Wittenberge, Germany 2004
Industrial withdrawal has led Wittenberge to become a shrinking city. A representative site in the city centre remains unbuilt. Our contribution to the competition suggests planting a birch copse to close the empty space. “The Nest”, a lookout tower above the trees, establishes a connection between the town centre and the neighbouring Elbe water meadows.
Berlin, Germany 2004
“Leila M.” is a record shop, venue and meeting place for experimental music in Berlin-Mitte. The owners, Mathias Gordon and Alexander Scholze, were familiar with our “ Espresso Bar” from Halle-Neustadt and wanted their shop fittings to be made from recycled prefab doors. The space is divided into three large elements: a large stack of shelves for storage, a furnishing ribbon that folds its way through the space and functions as a sales desk and a DJ console as a listening point. Floor, ceilings and walls remained untreated, areas of colour redefined the space.
