OBJECT PLANNING OF THE BUILDING

The building was originally constructed in 1879 and was used as production and administrative building until 1990. After that several trade companies leased the building. The building is listed as a heritage site at the Free State of Thuringia. Especially the staircases as well as the interior design and the roof structure are mentioned as protection deserving attributes.

The building is now used by the municipal works department and by other associations for offices, workshops, archives and storage rooms. A complex roof covering with connection to the building at Turner Street was constructed for the municipal works department. A new stair case in the center of the building was planned in regards to a better accessibility to the building with its areas for the municipal works department and associations. In order to sustain the listed building envelop as unchanged as possible and also be in compliance with current thermal insulation requirements, a room-in-a room solution was suggested for the upper floors. The previously undivided factory rooms are sectioned by the central staircase und form independent areas.
