Modern commercial architecture in historic surroundings
Eckert painting workshop, Regensburg








A particular challenge in the planning and realisation of the commercial building was, for one, to enable the idea of living and working on the same site as a way of life. For another, the continued existence of the craftsman's business was to be secured in the World Heritage area of the historic centre of Regensburg; hence the Eckert painting workshop was honoured as a successful example of modern commercial architecture in a historical context.
This project was presented in the network series “wieweiterarbeiten – Workspaces of the Future“.
