Remodeled Water Pumping Station. Berlin is known to be an expensive city and people should spend their money wisely if they want to be in Berlin longer.

Housing in Berlin is expensive as well, which is why enterprising artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset decided to purchase a former water pumping station in the suburb of Neukolln just three miles away from the city center of Berlin. With the help of Architects Nils Wenk and Jan Wiese, the old water pumping station has turned into a new stylish and spacious home and studio workspace.

Using the existing fixtures and unique finishes of the building, the renovation took for about a year.
