LOVO challenges traditional living by creating a residential space where inhabitants share their lives and interact in communal areas rather than confining themselves to private apartments. The design fosters a sense of community that is essential, particularly for marginalized groups. This approach not only enhances social connections but also combats isolation that often accompanies refugee experiences and LGBTQ+ lives.
The architects, Christoph Wagner and Ulrich Vogl, alongside Schwulenberatung Berlin, envisioned a project that addressed the dual needs of the LGBTQ+ community and refugees in Berlin. By integrating shared living spaces with tenant diversity, the building exemplifies forward-thinking social architecture that embraces inclusivity and collaboration.
