Hansa-Planung

Since Kellogg stopped production in Bremen, a new city quarter Überseeinsel has been created at the former production site between the Weser and Europahafen. Due to its presence on the banks of the river Weser, the Flakes Factory is an anchor point of the new city quarter that creates identity with new public uses, urban production and loft living.

The basic attitude towards the conversion of the former production building is appreciation of the diverse qualities and possibilities of the existing structure as well as its emotional significance for the locals. The structural substance is preserved as found as far as possible and transferred from there to a future with new spatial possibilities.
