ARENA HALLE

The planning and refurbishment of the listed former ABOAG omnibus depot were carried out in close collaboration with the Berlin Fire Department, ensuring that all safety and operational requirements were fully integrated into the design process.

The existing hall structure was carefully adapted to accommodate new functional demands without compromising its historical character. Through targeted spatial and infrastructural upgrades, the building is now capable of hosting large-scale events such as trade fairs, cultural programs, and gala functions.

A key aspect of the project is the balance between preservation and transformation. The monumental industrial architecture is retained and emphasized, while contemporary interventions enhance accessibility, circulation, and safety standards. This includes optimized evacuation routes, improved visitor flow, and the integration of modern technical systems within the existing fabric.
