The two-storey outbuilding in the courtyard of a block in Kollwitzkiez, Berlin, dates back to the Gründerzeit (the “founders period, mid- to late 1800s). In 1995 it was placed under protection as part of a

historically listed ensemble.

The building, formerly used as a cider mill and brewery, has now been converted into a private living space.

The building was formerly used as a

cider mill and brewery.

The industrial charm of steel girders, stone ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling tiled walls needed to be preserved during the conversion.

The existing brick facade facing the courtyard was

carefully restored

and insulated from the inside to preserve the time-worn character of the exterior. In place of the former service elevator, a two-story glass element set in front of the facade marks the new entrance.

The

Traces of Time

were also preserved in the interior. Tiled walls were cleaned, others were re-plastered or painted.
