Wohnregal is a prefabricated concrete live-work apartment block in Berlin
Architecture studio FAR has built a six-storey housing block in Berlin from precast concrete slabs.
Named Wohnregal, the warehouse-style block was constructed form prefabricated concrete elements, with pillars and beams that support slabs to create the potential for wide-open rooms.
Sliding glass doors cover two facades
The individual stories have no structural walls inside and span 13 metres from the facade to facade. Occupants can insert their own drywalls into the spaces to divide them according to their lifestyles.
A type of precast concrete beams called TT-beams were used for the construction.
Stainless steel mesh screens the external stairs
Two curtain walls on Wohnregal's east and west facade are formed by floor-to-ceiling glass doors, turning the sheltered spaces into covered balconies and walkways.
The sliding glass doors can be opened in summer to naturally ventilate the building.
Outdoor staircases covered with stainless steel mesh zigzag up the side of the building, turning a functional element into a visual part of the block's facade.
Prefabricated concrete elements took just six weeks to assemble
The decision to use prefabricated materials was motivated by Berlin's increasingly expensive house prices and a desire to change preconceptions about prefabricated design as too prescriptive
"The ambition was to bridge two apparently contradictory challenges the housing market in Berlin is facing," said FAR.
"Industrial prefabrication offers the benefits of serial construction techniques, including cost-savings and shorter construction timelines, and thus addresses the rising construction costs for housing," added the studio.
"Countering preconceptions that serial construction automatically implies a standardization of the inhabitable unit itself, Wohnregal offers a wide range of different live/work atelier layouts for an ever-broadening bandwidth of urban lifestyles."
Units have their own corner balconies
Wohnregal was built with just six weeks of onsite assembly and construction costs averaged at €1,500 (£1,350) per square metre.
Aside from two mechanical cores, there are no restraints on the layouts of the floors, each of which are divided into the different apartment and workshop sizes.
There are no structural internal walls
Units vary from 35 to 110 square metres, facing east or west or, for some of the larger ones, both. Sunrises and sunsets are visible from the corner balconies of each unit.
"Prefabrication in housing has been a century-long story of optimization, and has had a continuous up and down of promises stated and promises broken," said FAR.
"Wohnregal re-appropriates the DNA of the prefabricated warehouse, which has taken the approach of optimization to its absolute limits while exploiting that very economy. It also reinterprets its structural openness to introduce a discourse that has been strangely absent in the focus on prefabrication: the complexity and variety of inhabitation."
FAR hopes the project demonstrates prefabrication's customisable qualities
FAR, short for Frohn and Rojas, was founded in 2004 by Marc Frohn and Mario Rojas Toledo and is based in Berlin.
Wohnregal has been shortlisted for Dezeen Awards 2020 in the housing projects category, along with projects such as an apartment block for "slash youths" in China and a co-housing project in France.

Journal - Call For Entries: Tell a Story With an Architectural Drawing for a Shot at $2,500!
It’s time to get those pencils sharpened and those computer mice warmed up — the Second Annual One Drawing Challenge is officially open for entries! Submit your drawings before the Early Entry Deadline at midnight EST on Friday, July 17th.
Enter the 2020 One Drawing Challenge
youtube
Competition Brief
Thanks to social media, more people than ever now consume architecture every day through their feeds. However, their attention is fleeting — with millions of architectural ideas flowing across the web, each designer has just a brief moment to make an impact. This means one image or drawing needs to possess the power to tell a whole story on its own, in seconds. For any designer, producing a viral drawing might just kickstart their career.
So, the #OneDrawingChallenge is laid down: Can you create a single drawing that tells the story behind a complex piece of architecture?
Your task is as follows: Create one drawing that communicates a new architectural proposal or existing piece of architecture, and the experience of those that would inhabit it. It can be located anywhere in the world and be at any scale. It can take the form of a plan, section, elevation, perspective or sketch. As long as it portrays part or all of a building or group of buildings, it is eligible.
This should be accompanied by a short description of your proposal, no more than 150 words.
2019 entrants, clockwise from top left: “Between Possibilities and Limitations” by Ozair Mansoor (2019 Student Winner); “Plastic Britain” by Christian Coackley (Commended Entry); “The Machine: A Mechanical Mudlark” by Mandalika Justine Roberts (2019 Non-Student Winner); “All at Sea” by Amélie Savoie-Saumure, Pascale Julien and Matt Breton-Honeyman (Commended Entry)

New York's Poster House museum by LTL Architects contrasts "the rustic and the refined"
https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2020/05/poster-house-ltl-architects-interiors-new-york-city-usa_dezeen_2364_sq-852x852.jpg
New York studio LTL Architects has designed minimal grey interiors that contrast white neoclassical pillars for the USA’s first major museum dedicated to the history of posters.
The museum, called Poster House, is on the ground floor of an existing 10-storey building near Madison Square Park on the border of the New York’s Chelsea neighbourhood.
Spanning 14,500 square feet (1,347 square metres), the museum includes a lobby, gift shop, cafe and exhibition room and a cellar below with offices and other private rooms.
Local studio LTL Architects designed the interiors to riff off original details from the early 20th century like exposed brick walls, barrel vaults and ornate cast-iron columns that are painted white.
“The design for Poster House seeks to combine the old and the new, the rustic and the refined, the playful and the somewhat serious into a layered but still unified architectural experience,” said LTL Architects.
The studio inserted a grey envelope to enclose the exhibition space and culminate in a canopy at the entrance on 23rd Street.
The 185-foot-long (56-metre-long) insertion divides the museum’s slender floor plan – which stretches 200 feet (61 metres) from 23rd Street to 24th Street – into a public passage on one side and galleries opposite.
“The formal galleries are nested within the existing building shell like a ship in a bottle, while the zone in between is activated by a series of collective programs and takes advantage of the qualities of the extant architecture,” the studio said.
Original architectural details feature in the passageway and communal areas and contrast with the grey volume.
“The resulting design is therefore conceived as a negotiation between two contrasting but complementary types of space: a more enclosed gallery volume and a more open and active public promenade,” LTL Architects added.
Rounding out the design are floors covered in either concrete or wood, timber benches and desks, and black railings.
Poster House is the first major museum in the US dedicated to the global history of posters. It is currently closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, and so is instead showcasing Covid-19 posters across the city digitally on LinkNYC Wi-Fi service panels.
Before closing in March, along with many of the city’s museums, Poster House exhibited posters from the 2017 Women’s March, hand-painted movie posters from Ghana and art nouveau works by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha.
Future poster exhibitions include the 1964 Olympic Games in Japan, Austrian designer Julius Klinger from the Vienna Secession and ones with the International Typographic Style, also known as Swiss Style.
There is also a poster museum in Aarhus, Denmark called the Danish Poster Museum, whose interiors were designed by local architecture firm C F Møller, as well as the Czech Poster Museum in Prague and Poster Museum Warsaw.
