The city of Hannover wanted to establish a rehabilitation centre for the therapy of drug addicts. The design and functionality of the building should have a positive effect on the patients and create a comfortable atmosphere for the therapy.
The one-storey building with pitch roof was erected in prefabricated wood construction. The raw material wood can be found in all rooms. Broad windows allow daylight illumination into the corridors that are acting as connection elements between the different living and working areas.
Many years have passed since the erection of this building. 2011 it was extended by a further element.
