The Warburg Ensemble is a row of nine 19thcentury townhouses and is home to The New Institute. The Ensemble plays the dual function of providing members of the institute and their families with housing, while also providing spaces that encourage exchange and communication.
The institute is equipped with rooms for panel discussions, exhibitions and seminars, while also providing users with an open kitchen, an orangery, a refectory, a bar and a common garden that connects the houses at the back. A library and bookstore is also incorporated into this mixed use development to encourage people strolling through the neighborhood to check it out and learn about the institute and its functions.
The goal of the overall design is to encourage collaboration and to foster creativity, bringing together a sense of community, intellect and progressiveness to help promote visionary thinking.
