GREEN-USE

Sparkasse Lüneburg intends to convert and redesign its main branch at An der Münze 4-6 and the adjoining building at Waagestraße 2 for sustainable and future-proof use. We were awarded 3rd place in the two-stage, non-public competition. Our innovative contribution specifically explores the possibilities of conservation and re-use approaches. We congratulate the winner.

Curing old sins

... or how the wrong mortar can cause damage to timber framing.

In the 1950s, the compartments were lined with simple red bricks using cement mortar. The poor moisture-dissipating properties of the cement mortar is not to be recommended for half-timbered buildings.
The old compartments are now being demolished and professionally refilled with dry ice-cleaned stones from a former barn using the correct clay-shell lime mortar.
Not just right, but also more beautiful!
