For its 1999 masterplan of the Quartier district of Hamburg Eppendorf, Bolles + Wilson preserved a set of bus and tram sheds and workshops, actually using them as a template for the masterplan. The architects explain that "The principles of the Masterplan were the 'loftising' of one workshop shed, a brick administration building...grows into penthouses and bus garage doors which envelope row houses." Combined with new office and residential buildings, the masterplan is a mix of building types, scales, and spaces.
