We have been involved for repair works of Gut Garkau’s barn designed by Hugo Häring, which has been built around 100 years ago as one of the largest original Zollinger roof structures that is still intact. On the basis of a feasibility study we have designed a framework plan which includes a broad range of user scenarios for different seasons of the year, from concerts, markets and weddings in summer to storage in winter. We also developed a phased plan for restoration works of the grade-1-listed national monument, starting with urgent repairs of the external envelope with the main and side roofs, windows and gates, followed by extensive works for repair and protection of the large and filigree Zollinger roof structure and finishing with concrete restoration works on the external and internal super-structure. Despite the restraints of a heritage site we have designed and coordinated a fire strategy which also enables using the large wide-span structure for large public events with many people under the big roof.
