Wiesenstraße – Rheinfabrik

Refurbishment proposal for a partially listed industrial complex in Düsseldorf, transforming it into a contemporary mixed-use building. The project integrated a café, creative workshops, event spaces, and office areas.

The intervention was based on a respectful approach to the existing industrial character. Protected heritage elements were preserved and highlighted, while new architectural additions were clearly identifiable, creating a dialogue between past and present. The goal was to maintain the identity of the ensemble while adapting it to new uses and contemporary requirements.

Developed for Rheinfabrik, the project explored how industrial refurbishment can serve as a strategic tool for urban revitalization — creating places for interaction, fostering community, and generating long-term value.
