Situated in a threshold between an old industrial area and aged office and residential buildings from the 80ies, the WERFT16 project by KRESINGS in Düsseldorf aims to revive the area and building by topping the old 80ies-style office body with a golden crown.

Close to the river Rhein and the port of Neuss, the ground floor of the building hosts a co-working space, communal areas for all offices and a kindergarden.

The interiors point to the industrial heritage of the area and the craftsmanship of its past, using finely crafted steel frame partitions, bare concrete and a colour palette that follows both, the nostalgia notion of the 80ies and the bold golden future.
