Hohe Strasse, Hanover

Description

In autumn 2001, planners discovered by accident the unoccupied building in Linden, a vivid district of Hanover. The decision to implement a joint project with several generations living under one roof matured quickly. The existing dilapidated building was torn down to the upper edge of the basement. Together with the future inhabitants, the planners designed individual and flexible floor plans.
