In Frankfurt am Main vacant offices amount to more than two million square metres of unused urban space - this equals the total amount of living space provided by one of the city’s larger districts. Against this development the project NIKA.haus will prove that the transformation of offices into living space in a solidary and non-commercial syndicate of tenements is a realistic alternative.
