On the upper floors, sections of the floor slabs are repurposed as trestles that support a tabletop made of recycled wood.
Tipping the pretensioned slab sections leads to a change in the load path, wich concentrates along the lower edge.
From floor to floor, the construction and weight of the tables consisting of pretensioned ceiling slabs changes: On the ground floor, two long strips are stacked.
The administrative building was previously organized horizontally, with low ceiling heights, a strict grid, and long strip windows.
The expansion along the southern facade bundles all building services lines and ducts. This provides a maximum degree of flexibility for later remodelling.
The engineers inserted special clamps into the ribs of the floor slabs prior to detaching them. They maintain the pretensioning effect, which would have been lost during the removal process.
Facing the street, the building remained nearly unchanged. By merely cleaning the facade, the planners unveil the aesthetics of a type of architecture that is often overlooked.
The planning team dissolved the horizontal organization and detached entire ceiling sections from their bearings.
Tilted prestressed ceiling slabs become staircases connecting all levels. The sandblasted structure remains unfinished, the traces of earlier fastenings are visibly exposed.
This hints at the former facade structure. During the remodelling, building parts that had been removed were sorted by material and stored in the basement. Wood components were turned into particle board.
