Revitalised Industrial Architecture on the Überseeinsel in Bremen:
DMAA Transforms the Kellogg’s Silos Into a Hotel.Location and context: mixed-use quarter on Bremen’s waterfrontThe ‘Überseestadt’, one of Europe’s largest urban development projects, is taking shape in the West of Bremen. A new urban district covering around 300 hectares is being created on the former Überseehafen. Part of the area is occupied by the ‘Überseeinsel’ peninsula, which is home to the for-mer production facilities of the food manufacturers Kellogg’s. The com-prehensive refurbishment concept involves the creation of a dynamic mixed-use complex on the River We-ser and in close proximity to down-town Bremen. The unofficial landmark and striking focus of the complex on the water’s edge is provided by the Kellogg’s silos from the 1970s, which give the location its identity and have now been transformed into a hotel by the architectural office DMAA.Silos with a symbolic characterThe remodelling of the Kellogg’s silos, which had previously held up to 5,000 tons of corn, wheat or oats, was an architecturally enticing and aesthetically complex challenge. DMAA’s project idea reflected the client’s concrete instructions to retain the industrial character and symbolic power of the silos. The iconic red ‘Kellogg’s’ logo towers above the distinctive 40 metre-high silos, whose shells now contain 117 circular and semi-circular hotel rooms. The lower annexe, which was formerly used as a vitamin store, has been converted to contain five storeys of office space with conference rooms, while its rooftop is now home to an event space with panoramic views.
John & Will:
contemporary reinterpre-tation of a hotelThe transformation of the silos into rooms was made possible by the cutting of window openings into the 16-cm-thick concrete cylinders. Strikingly narrow slits offer views of the Weser at different heights. The silos’ funnel-shaped outlets were integrated into the design of the hotel lobby. New connecting structures were opened up between the cylin-ders to facilitate entry to the rooms. 3,500 m³ of concrete had to be cut out and removed by wheelbarrow in the hotel alone. The silos and the adjacent rice store, which has been
converted into a market hall, provide a wide range of communal services, restaurants, an in-house brewery and spacious terraces overlooking the Weser.
