Study Kocherei, Attisholz area , Riedholz
did not win
Immobilienunternehmen Halter AG

Private project competition by invitation, single-stage, anonymous procedure with seven architectural firms.

The “Kocherei” is a landmark building on the site of the former Attisholz cellulose factory. The aim is to retain the character of the Kocherei and the cultural and service uses already located there. Two storeys of maisonette flats will be added to the building. A narrow, lushly planted courtyard will be created between the “Kocherei” and the new buildings. In contrast to the massive existing building, the new buildings appear light and delicate. The prefabricated façade construction made of steel pipes and concrete elements, supplemented with wire mesh parapets, has an industrial feel, and forms a generous balcony layer.
