Schauwerk Sindelfingen
When Bitzer Kühlmaschinenbau’s production operations were relocated to Rottenburg, considerable space became available at the company’s original site in Sindelfingen. The site now houses the company’s headquarters and SCHAUWERK Sindelfingen, a museum of contemporary art. The administrative buildings were reorganized and largely renovated or converted.
SCHAUWERK Sindelfingen essentially consists of three interconnected buildings. One section was completely demolished and replaced by a new building. The high-bay warehouse was cleared out. A spindle-shaped ramp makes the tall building accessible and allows its interior space to be used efficiently.

The steel frame of the sawtooth-roof hall was preserved, allowing visitors to experience the character of the former industrial building.
The sequence of spaces with different dimensions creates an engaging and varied interior.
Art speaks an international language and is equally accessible to everyone. It can inspire us through objects that present themselves as ideas, concepts, design possibilities, or even provocations. The building provides this diversity with a restrained and neutral setting. It accompanies visitors on inspiring journeys through architecturally diverse spaces in which the world finds a home.
At SCHAUWERK Sindelfingen, architecture and art engage in a dynamic dialogue.
