THE SECRET GARDEN, BERLIN
Type
SIZE
100,000 sqft - 300,000 sqft
LAVA is creating the new interior spaces for an old cabaret theatre
dating from the 1920s. The abandoned cabaret theatre has been recently
uncovered in the heart of Berlin.
Built in 1905, the three
level musical hall and restaurant has been buried in 30 tonnes
of rubble since 1934 when it closed.
Dirk Moritz [Moritz Gruppe] stumbled upon the abandoned
three-storey building located behind a courtyard in the former communist east
of the city. It had a grand ballroom, a 300 square metre theatre, wall
paintings and metres-high stuccoed ceilings and was designed by famous Berliner
businessman/architect Oscar Garbe.
The SECRET GARDEN will comprise spaces for small-scale
performances and exhibitions, studios, meetings and conferences, luxury
apartments for short term and executive rental and a new penthouse on top of
the building.
Historic preservation, fire protection and modern comfort
levels are considerations. State-of-the-art technology will create a very
special user experience combining a feeling for the original use with modern
day Berlin.
LAVA is exploring what architectural elements to keep as
found, what to restore and what to add in a contemporary style. Furnishing of the
space to cater for the needs of different users is also being investigated.
Construction will commence in March 2013, with completion
due in mid 2014.
