Marinehaus Berlin
Extension of the Märkisches Museum
The design is based on the conviction that, in its current state, the Marinehaus possesses a distinct and unmistakable identity. We view the building as a collage of very different, contrasting, yet above all powerful spatial qualities. These qualities are defined by various construction methods, materials and finishes. We wish to preserve the Marinehaus’s strong identity. Through careful interventions in the building’s fabric, we aim to create a space of relevance for engaging with the past, the present and the future. Our goal is to make visitors and users aware of the Marinehaus’s eventful history as it has evolved from a representative building to a functional one, and to continue this history through our interventions.
