Refurbishment of a residential building in Kraepelinstrasse

The residential building in Kraepelinstraße 12, built in 1964 on the premises of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich's district Schwabing,was completely refurbished. The building is a 5-storey solid structure with access balconies on the north side and a balcony facade on the south side. The building comprises 16 apartments, 4 apartments per floor. Both the northern facade with the access balconies and the southern balcony facade were completely renovated. The lime roof structure was demolished and replaced by a flat roof construction which meets today's requirements and is extensively planted. Moreover, the apartments' interiors were completely modernised, starting from the flooring to sanitary and electrical installations. The result is a modern residential building with the visible architectural appeal of the 1960s.
