Augustanahof concerns the transformation of a church from the reconstruction period. The project is a good example of how a protected living environment in the middle of urban life can be shaped. The youngest resident is 24, the oldest 94.
Livability
From the Augustanahof, activities take place in and with the neighborhood, such as a weekly dinner table, children's clubs, various gatherings, and there is a communal garden.
Housing quality
Simultaneously with the design of the transformation, the future community was formed. People and space found each other, both in terms of individual living space and collective facilities. For example, there is a large meeting room with its own entrance, a chapel/quiet room, also with its own entrance. There are many collective spaces in and around the building. The professional kitchen was already there and has been preserved.
Added value for the neighborhood
The Augustinian Church has been preserved as a defining landmark and anchor point in the neighborhood. The activities involving and within the neighborhood that took place in the church have been expanded. During the transformation, as much material as possible was reused. The church floor became a counter, kitchen countertop, and furniture for the chapel, for example.
