Commercial Hall Workshop Warehouse

Hall
Storage/exhibition hall
The former barn was built with plastered brickwork and concrete foundations using the original steel structure with a flat pitched roof. False ceilings were installed on the outside wall over approx. 250 m² of the floor area. These were mounted on purlin beams and supports using wooden beams and chipboard, designed for approx. 350 kg7m² of live load according to the structural analysis.
The hall was mainly used as an exhibition hall and storage area for furniture. High-quality, rustic wooden stairs were installed to provide access to the upper level, and carpeting was laid over the entire area. The entire gallery is secured with turned wooden railings. The hall is illuminated by powerful ceiling lighting, but also has daylight strips in the roof area. Sufficient linear luminaires are installed below the mezzanine level.
A small office area is partitioned off in one section, with a visual connection to the hall and the covered inner courtyard. New WC facilities with shower and kitchenette were also installed under the wooden beam ceilings. The inner courtyard can be accessed from the outside courtyard entrance via a large sliding gate. Access to the exhibition hall is via a large double-leaf wooden door.

Workshop
The courtyard building on the left-hand side was constructed as a warehouse/workshop building with solid masonry walls and a mono-pitch roof. A false ceiling has been installed using wooden supports and beams, rafters and chipboard, and a section has also been partitioned off with a lightweight construction. The floor on the right-hand side is a raw concrete floor slab. Chipboard has been laid on the left-hand side, with laminate flooring in one section. A kitchenette is also set up in this area, and a simple sanitary area is also separated and set up on this side.

Building services
The basic installation of the entire building services is in mint condition. New central heating (gas connection also new) with radiators in the workshop building and in the rooms of the exhibition hall. New air heaters have been installed in the open hall.
All installations in the WC facilities (men's, women's, shower and kitchenette) have been renewed. Hot water is generated decentrally via instantaneous water heaters. The basic electrical infrastructure has also been installed with new sub-distribution boards.
The structural condition of the building dates back to 1985, the year of the building permit, with the change of use in 1998.

Assessment under building law
After reviewing the complete building file with the most recent building permits from 1998 and 1999, the building has essentially been approved under building law.
