To Live And Work
in the Factory
Keep the identity — create an unmistakable future without losing
the refe-
rence to the past. In the complex of the long-established
factory FeIler,
which is the leading producer of plugs, light
switches and dimmers since
1909, the former production building
as well as the manufacturer‘s villa
were converted into sixteen
residential and studio lofts of different sizes
and conversion
levels. Eight residential row lofts of 220 m2 living space
each
were built in the bright white steel construction that dates
back to the
turn of the century. Four one-storey lofts of 190
m2 each and a roof terrace
80 m2 big were constructed in the
adjacent cement construction. The former
manufacturer‘s villa
was transformed into office space as well as one-floor
lofts
of 120 m2 and 168 m2. Two exclusive lofts are located in the
truss.
The
parking spaces as well as a fitness center can be
found in the red-
orange painted wood construction that is on
the hillside. |
