Starting from the existing structure, the dust silo was carefully converted into a two-storey tiny house. The existing building was kept as the spatial basis and developed further.

To make good use of the limited floor area, an internal layout was developed that distributes living and retreat across two levels.

A central element is the “reading window” that I designed: a generous, south-facing window niche. It extends the interior visually and creates a special place for reading, lingering and arriving in the light.

The overhead pipework connecting the silo to the Massstabfabrik was kept, so the industrial history of the place can still be experienced.
