The oldest building of the former Oberhammer metalworking factories originated in the 1850s and was used as a foundry until 2009.
In 2021 a collective of architects and the cultural association snkt brtlm joined forces in the mission to renovate the vacated and severely demaged building.
For the renovation rotten parts of the support structure have been replaced and a new skylight implemented. The roof was repaired and sealed.
The next step was getting rid of dust, grime and obsolete steel structures. One result of this process was the uncovering of the old larch flooring on the first floor.
The old blast furnace was the heart of the foundry and remains in its central position connecting both floors.
To emphasise the charactarizing old furnace, flooring and new skylight the walls of the studio on the second floor were painted in white, whereas the big hall was cleaned, sealed and left in its original state.
Due to the low-budget and processual aproach the renovation of the premises remains an ongoing work in progress.
