How Tom van Puyvelde Transformed a Berlin Bathhouse Into an Office Rooted in History and Place

Slow’s headquarters sits within Marina Marina, a sprawling multi-building campus located just outside Berlin’s city center. When it officially opens, next spring, the grounds will serve as a hub intended to encourage the cross-pollination of creative work and ideas, hosting an array of exhibitions, performances, and public and private events. A mix of new construction and renovation of the site’s former Lichtenberg Municipal River Baths, a public bathing facility that opened in 1927 and was later turned into the base of the East German customs bureau, the project includes four central structures: a hotel, a performance venue, a cafeteria and restaurant, and the Platte, a co-working space that holds Slow’s offices, which its staff moved into earlier this year.
