Text description provided by architect.

This conversion of existing prefabricated building in Halle-Neustadt resulted from the city reconstruction for the International Architectural Exhibition (IBA) in 2010. 

Originally, 2 or 3 apartments per floor were arranged around 11 staircases. By reducing the staircases to 6 and removing the associated corridors.

It has allowed for the extension and rearrangment of the apartments.

Outdoor spaces have been formed by removing alternating sections of the 3rd and 4th floorplates, creating large outdoor terrace spaces.

On the floors below, wide, continious balconies provide quality outside spaces for the flats.
