Immersing in every human sense within one moment. That can be as simple as entering a room without initiative or thought-provoking features. It can be as simple as observing your surroundings and being able to interpret the most random things you can sense into something beautiful. It can be as simple as feeling a wave of sensation entering the body and mind while contemplating these ideas.
A journey that has shown me that there is no limit to what you can learn and grasp along the way. Therefore helping me to realise that my future is in creating, regardless of how my path will manifest.

In its current use, the Huschhalle Dresden exists as an easily overlooked space. Its value comes from within the people of the neighborhood and their trust that this place serves them at any time of the day. The first approach that we have integrated into our take on repurposing the space. Redefining its value for the socially disadvantaged district by the given social potential and the impact this site can have on Löbtau. Therefore shifting towards a greater purpose for the youth and future generations by enabling and conceptualizing a multifunctional, free-to-use workshop space and bike repair shop for any young bike enthusiast intrigued by joining a diverse tray of community-based projects hosted in the enhanced space of the Huschhalle. The second is to transform the site, which in the past has been tainted as negative into a place and space that will have an even more positive influence on the surrounding area.

adaptation of the roof shape opening to the adjacent park area
doubling the length of the building creating space for new use value
integration of the skylight merging the two storeys creates an open space which is flooded by natural light through the open roof structure
The revitalization effort doubles the building‘s length, with one roof side elegantly folded and seemingly stretched, creating a captivating visual. On the inside, a spacious, elevated entrance separates workshop areas, preserving the building‘s architectural integrity. Retaining the arcade outside adds depth, while maintaining the building‘s connection to the street.
A continuous window along the top gable floods the interior with natural light, enhancing the building‘s functionality and appeal.
27 prefabricated triangular frames ingeniously connect the roof and unify the entrance and the old building They symbolise the project‘s innovative approach to historical preservation and community engagement.

At the historic rathauspark, the old bar huschhalle stands as a testament to careful adaptive reuse. Nestled on the river‘s edge amidst the old city, this intervention project aims to augment the existing structure, aligning with Dresden and Löbtau‘s social visions. The renovated space now houses a bicycle workshop and community hall, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding greenery and urban landscape.

74 building complexes for a Berlin Stadtlichtung.
The model serves as an internalization of what we understand as urban development. It acts as a foundation for what makes us human beings in the first place. Community life. Vista redefines this model. It creates space for what we need. The Stadtlichtung is undergoing a metamorphosis. For the numerous residents and operators of workshops, offices, and other small businesses, spaces are being created that promote togetherness.
To this end, we are creating a central area for workshops, a privatized residential oasis with various residential concepts, and a landscape of opportunities for companies with plenty of space for co-working spaces and modern offices. Stadtlichtung does not follow a standardized façade design and allows developers to add their individuality to Berlin’s diverse cityscape. This is followed by the immersive experience visitors can enjoy in the Arial. A large, introductory piazza serves as a link to the individual areas of the site. Smaller piazzettas also offer residents more private open spaces. Finally, we invite you to become part of this vision, that we are creating with Vista.

approach
The centrepiece of the redevelopment is a series of irregular city blocks forming an organic roof, sloping radially to match the height of surrounding buildings. This innovative design not only creates a dynamic visual landscape but opens views and individual roof terraces towards Berlins suburbs.
Intended for residents and operators, the space fosters a sense of community with workshops, offices, and coexisting housing. It serves as a living oasis within the bustling city, offering opportunities for collaboration through co-workshops, courtyard-communities and modern offices.
