gmp Städtische Bühnen Theatre Workshops Frankfurt

gmp architectural studio has announced the completion of work on expansion of its scenery and costume workshops for Städtische Bühnen theatre in Frankfurt.
The key to the project is the new entrance to the “Kammerspiel”, which replaced the one built in 1980, now demolished.
The entrance is framed on the outside by the arcades of the eastern area, where the advertising hoarding announcing what’s on at the theatre, visible from far away, is built right into the façade.
To maximise use of the available space, the costume workshops were built above the eastern part of the building. The scenery workshops (carpentry, painting, metals, decoration, storage, etc.) occupy the southern part of the building.
The frame and the materials selected for the façade recall those of the existing buildings, and the complex creates a new focus of interest for the city on the banks of the River Main.
