The water tower houses a large apartment with 130 m² on 6 floors + roof terrace.

The transformation of the water tower into an apartment was primarily designed for the careful handling of the existing building and represents a minimal intervention in the existing structure. The over 100 year history of the water tower remains tangible. The round shape and materiality, which remains perceptible in all rooms, are particularly important. The result is an open living space that does not divide the tower into small rooms, but plays with open levels and the round shape.

The large cozy kitchen is on the ground floor. The room is covered by a brick dome. The old iron staircase leads you to the sleeping levels with baths above. The tower has a total of two bathrooms with shower, toilet and sink and an additional toilet with sink.

Above this, the room follows the history of the tower, which lies directly under the steel dome of the water tank.

The living room is now at the top of the former water tank itself. A large window was cut into the riveted tank wall, which gives a clear view of the wildlife park. In this extraordinary room there is another sleeping possibility for 2 people.

The water tower is crowned by the roof terrace over which the steel skeleton of the former roof extends.
