We are building an exciting central complex with residential and commercial facilities right by the central rail station and the historical district of Eicken. Three multi-storey buildings resembling modern town house architecture will lend a unique character to the Steinmetzstraße.
This charming district is shaped by Gründerzeit architecture, a diverse population and a vibrant art and cultural scene. Our new architectural addition takes up aspects of the Gründerzeit houses and translates them into a modern lingo. The façades of the buildings are subdivided vertically. Their size is informed by the existing structures to create a harmonious look. There a no continuous structures nor buildings of the exact same height: all are slightly offset in height and blend into their environment.
Each of the three buildings offers versatile, multi-functional spaces adjacent to the residential units.
Viewed from the Steinmetzstraße, the ground floor of the left building contains ample space for a wholesale store. This storey is semi-transparent both outside and inside. There are no clear boundaries: the concept promotes community.
The special design and location of the central section has a strong pull; it is an eyecatcher that attracts visitors from the surrounding area. The building is a meeting point that provides open space for campaigns and offers.
On the ground floor of the right-hand building, creatively desig ned sales rooms are available to artists, entrepreneurs and other innovative projects.
