Garage additions

Falk Schneemann Architektur

As part of urban densification measures on a post-war estate in Karlsruhe, additional housing space was created by adding storey to three existing garage complexes. No new ground surfaces were sealed in the course of construction and the finished timber structure is recyclable and relocatable. Throughout, the project pursued the practice of urban mining – the reutilisation of existing demolition materials. The prototype venture uses alternative and abundantly available space resources and is now looking forward to implementation in other locations.
