Team point of view

The goal of the concept is the creation of an attractive and vibrant urban area. Therefore existing potentials are preserved and developed further.
The prevailing open spaces with the historical buildings along the Römerstraße are transformed into a "park" with several cultural offerings. The result is a fluent urban space connecting all parts together. The different qualities of public spaces along the street are suitable for a variety of uses. The "culture park" improves the quality along the Römertraße and gives the site a new identity.
The areas around the former stables will be transformed into a densely built-up urban area for a mixed-use of living and working. The Existing building provides space for a variety of social and cultural activities. New buildings with double-skin facade are designed to collect solar energy and distribute it to the apartments. Essentially, the combination of old and new creates a special atmosphere.
