Spiegelfabrik Housing / Heide & von Beckerath

The site of a former mirror factory is located between Wilhelminian housing on Lange Straße in the southwest and Dr.-Mack-Straße in the northeast near the water meadows on the river Pregnitz at Fürth’s city park. It is accessible from both streets and runs transversely to a story-high drop in the terrain. The old forge is the only remaining building on the site. The party wall of a neighboring building forms the north-western boundary. A new development is anticipated along the southeastern border. The after-use of the industrial site gives significant impetus to the urban neighborhood’s transformation and the innovative form of housing lends it model character.
