Plow Apartment / Studio Loes

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 12:00:00 +0000

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

MOMM Apartment / Studio Loes

"Always along the firewall" may be a wonderful song or book title, but in this instance, it is the leitmotif of MOMM, a 205 m2 7-room apartment for which STUDIO LOES was in charge of the interior design. The residential structure from the early twentieth century is located in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The apartment's existing construction is typical of an ancient building, with high ceilings, an angled floor plan, and a very confused, scattered spatial layout.

Element & Lingot Building / Studio Loes

"Build less, much less, but dense, valuable and durable!" writes the architect and building historian Vittorio Magnago Lumpugnani in his latest essay “Gegen Wegwerfarchitektur” ("Against Throwaway Architecture"). A plea that the architects of STUDIO LOES also endorse: Their ensemble "Element & Lingot" has been extending an existing residential building from the Wilhelminian and post-war periods with a garden house in the inner courtyard ("Element") and four roof extensions on the existing buildings of the front and rear buildings ("Lingot") since summer 2023.
