这是一个非常受欢迎的居住地：生活在大街上展开，明斯特获得了一些大城市的感觉。然而，在这个曾经是港口工人家园的密集发展的城区里，生活空间却非常有限。这部分是由于低层建筑的风格，但也由于有时住宅的布局非常宽敞。
It’s a very popular place to live: where life unfolds out on the street and Muenster gains something of a big-city feel. Yet living space is very limited in the densely developed urban district that used to be home to port workers. This is due in part to the low-rise building style but also to the sometimes very spacious layouts of the dwellings.
2017年，克雷辛兄弟有选择地收购了其中一栋50年代的排屋。从一开始，这里的愿景就是使现有的平面结构适应当今社会的需求，并为未来设定一个灵活的方向。另一个主要目标是为减少建筑物的能源消耗做出真正的贡献，这一点通过使用可再生材料，即木材和完全基于矿物的绝缘材料的承重结构来实现，根据现有的 “EnEv “建筑规范，可节约30%的能源。
In 2017 the Kresing brothers had the option to acquire one of the terraced houses from the 1950s. From the outset, the vision here was to adapt the existing structure of the floor plans to the needs of society today and to set a flexible course for the future. Another major objective was to make a real contribution towards reducing the energy consumption of the building, and this was achieved with load-bearing structures made of a renewable material, namely wood, and exclusively mineral-based insulating materials, whereby the saving amounted to 30 % based on the existing “EnEv” building code.
外墙的全面翻新，以及重新激活的花园和屋顶，都使用了大尺寸的木制窗户，这使得自然光和深远的景色成为建筑的主要组成部分。建筑师还利用了色彩，他们认为该地区可以很好地支持这种色彩。在红砖和低调的效果图旁边，覆盆子红色非常突出，因此，以前的工人区因此获得了一个新的建筑，从内部激活了它，同时保持了它自己的家庭和渊源。
The complete renovation of the façade but also the reactivated garden and roof level make use of large-format windows made of wood, which define natural light and far-reaching views as a major component of the building. The architects are also making use of color, which they believe the district can support very well. Next to the red brick and the muted tones of the rendering, the raspberry red stands out, hence the former workers’ district is thus gaining a new building that enlivens it from within while remaining true to its own family and origins.
建筑物的体积只在屋顶的延伸部分略有变化；除此之外，建筑的轮廓继续沿用该区现有的发展路线。因此，对建筑师来说，颜色和金属材料都代表了另一种为改造提供某种抽象的方式。像花园这样的公共区域是供所有居民使用的。现有的店面被保留了下来，这打破了以前的立面，四位有创造力的女性，分享了一个联合工作空间，已经搬了进来。以前的平面图已经被完全重新设计了。除了地下室下降60厘米和扩展坡屋顶之外，住宅空间也通过重新利用阳台得到了扩展。
The volume of the building has only changed marginally in the form of the extension on the roof; otherwise, the outline continues to follow the existing lines of the district’s development. Hence, for the architects, both color and metallic material represent another way of lending a certain abstraction to the renovation. Communal areas like the garden are available to all residents. The existing store premises have been maintained, which breaks up the façade as before, and four creative women, who are sharing a co-working space, have moved in. The previous floor plan has been entirely redesigned. Alongside the drop of 60 cm in the basement and the extension to the gabled roof, residential space has also been extended by the repurposing of the balconies.
新的、由木头支撑的外墙被安置在现有阳台的外缘前面。这样一来，空间的深度就增加了，这样就有可能在西侧和东侧纳入较小的单元。我们也做了很多努力来尽可能地避免走廊空间。然而，房间的可感知的宽敞性主要是通过大尺寸的落地木窗实现的。因此，所有单元不仅有充足的日光，而且还拥有法式窗户–这是一个巧妙的技巧，完美地弥补了以前阳台的损失。该设计旨在实现建筑边缘和该区城市发展线条的一致性。
The new, wood-supported external wall was positioned in front of the outer edge of the existing balconies. This way, the depth of the space has been increased so that it was possible to incorporate smaller units on the west and east sides. Much effort was also made to avoid corridor space as much as possible. The perceived spaciousness of the rooms is primarily achieved, however, through the large-format, floor-to-ceiling wood windows. Thus, all units are not only flooded with daylight but also boast French windows – a clever trick that perfectly compensates for the loss of the former balconies. The design aims to achieve consistency in the edges of the buildings and the lines of the district’s urban development.
与标准的翻新做法不同，外壳的设计利用了由可再生材料和金属表皮组成的承重结构。整体的预期效果是一种抽象的，通过表面的感觉和颜色，在尊重环境中所有现有比例的情况下，带来强烈的效果。
In contrast to standard renovation practices, the design of the outer shell makes use of a load-bearing structure made of renewable material and metallic skin. The overall desired effect is an abstraction, which is brought strongly to bear by means of the surface feel and color yet with respect for all the existing proportions within the context.
