In the St. Leonhard district of Nuremberg, a residential building with 50 identical apartments for seniors was constructed between 2019 and 2024. Designed by the Munich-based architecture firm dreisterneplus, the building features staggered floor plans that open onto a diverse architectural environment, lending the compact two-room apartments a surprising sense of spaciousness.
The book VIPERSGAZI reveals the diverse ways in which residents appropriate these apartments. The same spatial qualities provide a framework for a wide range of habits and life stories.
With the text “Kekse and Kaaba” and a portrait series in the ten apartments that i could visit, i had the chance to implement an unusual social narrative into the comprehensive architectural documentation.
