The site of the former brewery with seed store in Brauhausgasse in Mühlberg (Elbe) is to be ecologicallyand revitalised. Despite their very poor condition, the existing buildings are to be preserved as far aspossible, the existing buildings are to be preserved.In this way, a green and lively area can be created in the centre of the old town of Mühlberg (Elbe) withdifferent functions for different users and residents.
The development structure of the town of Mühlberg (Elbe) is historically characterised by the typology of main house, outbuildingand farm garden. The planned extension follows this typology. As the plot is very small, space for building is becoming increasingly scarce and sealing should be avoided from an ecological point of view, we are planning the composition as a roof extension on the roof of the brewery. The extensions merge in the flowing, open interior and in the roof landscape.
The townscape of the historic centre of Mühlberg (Elbe) is worthy of protection. The concept for the design of the roof structure makes uncompromising reference to this. The views of the roof from the public streets determine the shape of the roof determine the shape of the roof, so that the roof structure cannot be seen from any point. The different lines of sight define the curvature and pitch of the roof structure. Historically, in Mühlberg and similar towns in Brandenburg, the roof structure was often celebrated with elaborate Gothic ornamentation. The folded roof of the superstructure picks up on this tradition. This gives the expressive form anadditional legitimisation.
The footprint of the roof structure is defined by the given boundary distances of the property.The new building volume is thus restrained and pays respect to the existing site.The structure should stand independently on the roof surface and interfere as little as possible with the existing building.However, the roof structure benefits from the height and structure of the existing building. It enables a picturesqueview of the gabled roofs typical of Mühlberg.
The interior of the brewery will continue to be used commercially and will be converted for cultural use as a showroom, gallery, studio or workshop. In addition, a larger flat on the roof and two smaller flats in the existing building are planned for short-term letting.All existing rooms will be left largely as they are today. New windows will be installed in order to achieve sufficient insulation of the interior spaces. A central staircase will also be added to connect all floors.
The Green Brewery site is to be ecologically renovated and run on renewable energy. The sloping roof surfaces of the roof construction are used for ecological energy generation with matt black photovoltaic panels.The chimney in the centre of the building serves both as a chimney for the fireplace and as a wind tower, which catches the cold wind in summer and directs it over a water basin so that cool and humid air is distributed in the room.
