theater workshops
The existing building’s diverse program of spaces is hardly apparent from the outside: carpentry, metal workshops, sewing rooms, offices, and a large stockroom support the production of theater equipment. The advantage of housing all trades under one roof and the central location in Eisenach is intended to be preserved after the renovation. This required expanding storage areas and reorganizing operations: the existing courtyard is being cleared and unsealed. In the future, it will serve as a workshop yard for logistics and performances. Entrances, deliveries, and the rehearsal stage will now orient towards this upgraded courtyard.
The new storage extension makes the workshop visible from the outside. A gable roof connects to the existing building and defines the annex's character. The interior remains open as a whole, with gallery levels organized like a large shelving system. Users can see the entire space at once, making the storage layout and groupings easy to understand.
