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.
