Plow Apartment / Studio Loes

This interior fit-out by Studio Loes demonstrates how historic buildings in Berlin may be designed for the future with few resources and targeted interventions. "Plow has proven to be a useful case study for coping with historic Berlin apartments. We took a look at what was already there. On the one side, there are often majestic living, dining, and playrooms. On the other side are nested bathrooms, hallways, and kitchens. Learning: these chambers are the secret lynchpins! Architects can have a significant overall impact here with just a few modifications. And, to the greatest extent feasible, keep the present structure, use it wisely, and expand it." – Gonzalo Lizama, Studio Loes
