House at MIR

Gelsenkirchen

With its wedge-shaped cubature and variety of uses, the Haus am MIR mediates between the public use of the “Musiktheater im Revier - MIR” and the adjacent residential development to the east of Schalker Strasse. In terms of space and design, the new building frames and accentuates the current, very heterogeneous “non-space” on the east side of the MIR.

The recessed first floor is integrated into the public space through its transparency. This effect is reinforced by a homogeneously designed theater forecourt surface that incorporates the new building. An independent, highly recognizable urban space is created between the different uses.
