David Chipperfield Architects’ abandoned hospital conversion features in today’s Dezeen Weekly newsletter

The latest edition of our Dezeen Weekly newsletter features the conversion of an abandoned hospital in western Germany into an office.

David Chipperfield Architects has turned the former St Vincenz Hospital in Paderborn into a new headquarters for Tap Holding – a family-run company in the DIY-craft market.

Originally built as a monastery, the building’s hidden historic walls were revealed during the renovation and three new office wings built.

One reader said the office is “so beautiful it takes my breath away”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter include a duvet-style dress designed to be worn during video calls in lockdown, a black-timber retreat by Norm Architects and the James Dyson Sustainability Award winning product.
