ACKERSTRASSE COOP (229-1)
Ackerstraße is a coop housing and atelier building that enables clyclic use of space.
The Ackerstraße studio building is organized into a street side facing southwest, towards Pappelplatz, and a courtyard side facing northeast, towards Eierpark. The spacious and noise-insensitive room uses, the studios, kitchens, and living rooms, are at the front, while the bedrooms are at the rear. In addition to creating space in which the connection between living and working can be more closely interlinked, the aim is to avoid vacancies – both in the weekly rhythm of individual rooms and in the life cycle of the building's inhabitants. Studios and offices that are only used during the week can be used for other purposes in the evenings or at weekends. With regard to life cycles in general, it is primarily the non-use of children's rooms in family apartments once they fall idle. To avoid such vacancies, the Atelierhaus Ackerstraße has core apartments and one-room studios. On each upper floor there are two core apartments with two bedrooms to the rear and a spacious kitchen to the front. A studio apartment adjoins each of the core apartments on the courtyard side, which can be used as part of the living constellation, but can also be used independently thanks to the connectivity of a small kitchenette. Towards the front of the square, between the two kitchens of the core apartments, there are up to five ateliers that can be used as part of the apartment as required.
