Eagle, Braunschweig

Conversion of a residential house

In contrast to the typology of the nearby residential buildings, the mobility is intended in the placement of the uses. Furniture is avoided as far as possible. Social organization and living habits can be determined individually and promise a freedom that the eagle seems to know.
