The housing complex “Leinestraße” has been examined for its potential of densification and creation of new housing. The building that fills one entire city block was constructed around 1925 by Bruno Taut in the New Objectivity (“Neue Sachlichkeit”) architectural style. By adding another level in the attic floor, that was already changed in the reconstruction because of wartime destructions under cost-effective conditions. This will require a new construction of the roof truss and small changes in the facade. The size and the design of the floor layouts is based on the floor plans of Bruno Taut.
