"Plow has proven to be a useful case study for coping with historic Berlin apartments. We took a look at what was already there. On the one side, there are often majestic living, dining, and playrooms. On the other side are nested bathrooms, hallways, and kitchens. Learning: these chambers are the secret lynchpins! Architects can have a significant overall impact here with just a few modifications. And, to the greatest extent feasible, keep the present structure, use it wisely, and expand it." - Gonzalo Lizama, Studio Loes
"Space is constantly lost in the shape of recesses and corners, and accessible space is rarely or never used. The floor plan of this 80 square meter three-room apartment in a typical twentieth-century residential structure in Berlin Neukölln was similarly inefficient. For the interior fit-out and conversion, Studio Loes developed a concept that, by applying the 'leftover' approach, prioritizing the existing building: instead of planning everything from scratch, the architects analyzed the existing structure of each room to create maximum living quality with only minor changes to the floor plan and clever built-in furniture in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom."
