Luckenwalde community office (Stadtteilbüro) Markt 1–3

The building at Markt 1–3 in the centre of Luckenwalde in Brandenburg was redesigned by the municipal housing company DIE LUCKENWALDER for use as a branch office with an integrated showroom used to showcase age-appropriate housing solutions. This created a space to enable both the transfer of knowledge and the provision of advisory services on topics concerning age-appropriate housing and accessibility.

Among other things, the newly-created permanent exhibition “Zuhause im Alter” (Housing Options in Old Age) showcases how stair-lifts work and demonstrates the benefits of age-appropriate bathroom fittings. On-site advisory services cover issues such as financing options and building alterations in cooperation with certified tradespeople and firms. Well-established, close cooperation between the city of Luckenwalde and the municipal housing association has played a key role in the project’s success.
