Conversion of tenant house, Biberstein Castle, Biberstein

The project
The Biberstein Castle Foundation, a social institution, was in need of new office space. The existing substance in the tenant house had to be completely reworked due to the layout and the lifetime of the installation.

The construction
The existing exterior walls were built in quarry stone masonry. A new floor slab was brought in, and the other floor slabs and interior walls were built in wood construction.

The challenge
Due to insufficient ceiling thicknesses, all ceilings had to be replaced. For this purpose, the existing exterior wall had to be secured. When installing the new floor slab, care had to be taken to ensure a light installation method, as no elements could be inserted. In addition, only a small ceiling thickness was possible due to the existing window openings. The escape stairwell, in encapsulated construction, had to be installed in the existing building. Due to its use as an office building, acoustic ceilings were hung between the beams to ensure the required room acoustics.
