re:future lab house
The re:future lab is metaphorically located in a historic transformer factory in southeast Berlin-Oberschöneweide, near to Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER).
This vast industrial complex nestles on the banks of the River Spree, in one of Berlin's "Zukunftsort". This is where renown artists, designers and cultural practitioners come together. Exhibitions, cultural events and concerts attract a wide audience and breathe new life into this historic district.

The Architecture
The re:future lab is a minimalist, light-filled studio house with three floors, concrete walls, steel staircases, a large window overlooking the Reinbeckhalle and a terrace facing the Spree.
Our space is a 160 m2 concrete building co-designed by Danish architect Sigurd Larsen. The 2nd floor, with a 5 m high ceiling, gives the space a heroic dimension. It's a full floor with an outdoor terrace and a breathtaking view of the river Spree.
The hidden open-air courtyard can be a nice add-on to your event, shooting or project. This outdoor space is subject to weather conditions.
A Place for All.
"Berlin-based artist Madeleine Schwinge's re:future lab is at once a living space, a studio, a place for social gatherings, and a workshop. In the middle of it all: the multifunctional 'Fold' by Danish designer and architect Sigurd Larsen.“ Ort für Alles, Küche—Design Handwerk Architektur
