The workers‘ house on Gustavstrasse was built in 1911 and comprised three storeys of flats and multiple attic rooms. After being used as a 12-room “Stadtvilla” in the last century, we curated its third phase of life. The flexible chamber layout remains untouched and is complemented by new functions and qualities: a second staircase hanging on the outside of the house allows for new connections and separations; deconstructed wet areas for a variety of user scenarios and conditions; the crane-like extension juts out into the garden and opens up the house to the treetops. The house can be used as two units with shared spaces; as three units or, with minor adjustments and additions, as up to four individual units. The idea of a home as a series of performative situations, rather than designated functional rooms, finds its continuation in a radical structural and construction principle, as well as its architectural expression. Each object is granted its own logic, corresponding to its specific properties, limitations and context. The monolithic wall made of heat-insulating bricks serves as a fireproof partition wall to the neighbours property and braces the house laterally. The crane-like structure uses its connection to the existing building as anchor and shorts the tensile forces generated in the extension to its foundation. The additive horizontal beams are specific to each floor: a concrete foundation underground, wooden beams that can penetrate the thermal envelope on the ground floor, simple metal beams on the first floor and a statically activated elevation under the roof: Stairs, kitchens, bathtubs are placed as interventions on or in the house. Everything remains objects, autonomous but in relation to the other objects. The individual spatial actors are interdependent and support each other in their performance, but remain detached and separable at the same time.
