New Building
Architecture
New construction of a modern apartment block with integrated commercial space.
Planning 2021-2022 / Construction 2023-2024

On the basis of a public design plan, the post office site is being transformed into a meeting place with centre functions. The new residential and commercial building forms the prelude and significantly characterises the appearance of the site due to its location at the crossroads. The ground floor accommodates public uses such as a retailer. Above this, the building is divided into two block-shaped volumes containing 24 rental flats, each with 3.5 rooms. Regularly arranged openings give rhythm to the simply designed façades of the three residential storeys. The opaque surfaces are divided into storey-high, two-coloured fields in order to adapt the building to the scale of its surroundings.
