Historic Timber and Concrete Silos
Düsseldorf, Germany
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2022
SIZE
100,000 sqft - 300,000 sqft
The conversion of the historic timber and concrete silos on the Plange Mühle Campus in Düsseldorf skilfully combines industrial architecture with modern design. The wooden silo, built in 1906, was largely preserved in its original form, with the original brick and timber façade design and the characteristic lattice windows and arches being restored. By removing the silos and inserting storey planks, the building was enlarged while retaining its industrial aesthetic and creating an exciting connection between old and new.
The concrete silo, built in 1929 and consisting of ten reinforced concrete cylinders, was completely remodelled for modern use. The cylinders were cut open lengthways, new floors were added and windows were integrated to provide the interior with daylight. The cylinder next to the wooden silo remained closed and houses central lift systems and the stairwell. An additional ‘flyover’ connects the two silos and offers impressive views of Düsseldorf harbour with its large window fronts.
The restoration follows the highest ecological standards and respects the preservation of historical monuments by preserving the original structure while integrating contemporary functions. The result is a creative campus that combines the industrial history of the site with innovative architecture and modern workspaces.
