Words from the designer

"The industrial area of Siegen is situated about 100km south of Dortmund, regionally in between Westerwald and Sauerland. It is one of the oldest iron processing regions in Europe. Due to poor economic conditions towards the end of the 19th century; a new method of timber-framed construction broke away from the medieval tradition -- which was characterized by opulent usage of material and ornaments. Thus we arrive at a simple house type with proportions deriving from classicism.

Our proposal for the reconstruction of the Klenke Apartment Building is based on the artistic principles and thoughts of this long-forgotten type of building."
