The third floor of one wing of a former industrial bakery has been converted into three separate loft spaces. The artist Johannes Heuer occupies the first, the second one serves as artist-in residence accommodation and is used on a three-month basis for the purpose of a scholarship and Finn Erschen uses the third loft space. The owner has a tiny office one storey below.

In order to preserve the original impression, each unit is fitted with a cement-chipboard clad cube that encloses a WC & shower, kitchen, storage and in two cases a resting niche.

New steel frame double glazed windows have been added to the inside of the old industrial glazing and some of the paint/plaster has been removed from the interior exposing the brickwork, which adds to the industrial appeal. The concrete floor has under floor heating.
