Neukölln Pumping Station

Wenk und Wiese conversion of a Neukölln water-pumping station into the Berlin studio and live-work space of Elmgreen & Dragset.

Wenk und Wiese converted a 1920s water-pumping station in Neukölln, Berlin, into a live-work studio for Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset.

The project keeps the industrial hall, tall windows and dark tiled base while adding white rooms, catwalks and upper work platforms through the former machinery space.
