Anzinger Straße

In accordance with the overriding theme, the street-side façade refers to the long Munich tradition of homogeneous mostly cooperative block structures (including Mollblock, Borstei) and develops towards the street in a calm, metropolitan, serene and unagitated manner as a strictly gridded perforated façade. Ceramic tiles and plinth plaster nobilize the facade where technically sensible and necessary to structure the building mass. Towards the common garden, the facade opens up with generous loggias in a softly curved form. The ceramic parapet upstands of the superimposed balcony loggias divide the facade horizontally and join the structure into a curved interior space that also integrates the numerous interior corners.

Whitewashed walls that discreetly reveal the solid masonry structure also provide the sustainable and puristic keynote for the melody of the structural nobilities on the technical level. The formative construction is based on the examples of Peter Märkli (Am Gut), Michelle Howard (Stacked House) or Meili, Peter Zurich (Freilager) as well as own experiences (Hohenzollernstraße). Can the use of monolithic insulating brick masonry be controlled technically (load-bearing capacity and acoustics) and economically (manufacturing costs and space efficiency) and also be used on the marketing level as a sustainable and design identity-forming element?
