In Düsseldorf’s zoo district, the former high-rise building of the Oberpostdirektion still dominates the area on Sohnstrasse.
According to our design, a mixed, livable residential area should be created here. The question of what happens to the inventory is an exciting one. We not only see the imposing building as identity-establishing, but also see the resources that were used here. Therefore, in our design, the existing building is integrated into the urban planning concept in terms of sustainability. A breakthrough and greenery ensure a harmonious integration and landmark formation.
Open spaces and neighborhood squares, together with the green concept, support a communication-promoting district with a high quality of life.
The “edible city” approach is also being pursued: fruit trees, berry bushes, bee pastures and herb plantations, as well as areas for urban gardening, find their place in the quarter and create a connection between the residents and the environment.
The two entrance squares on Sohnstraße act as a link between the new quarter and the surrounding area, they lead into the new quarter and also enrich the surrounding district. The identity-creating overall concept provides for an innovative, sustainable and future-proof quarter, which complements the existing residential location in a high-quality way, in combination with residential development, additional uses and high-quality open spaces.
