Karl-Schönleben-Straße Nuremberg

The design as a mezzanine floor enables the more economical realization of a 2-storey underground car park under the courtyard, which partially replaces the existing car parking spaces and provides space for the parking spaces of the new building. On the first floor, residential use is planned in addition to storage facilities for bicycles and a common room.

The modular structure of the building is based on the modular buildings found in the neighborhood in the post-war years. The high repetition factor and the efficiency of the floor plans from this period are incorporated into the new development and pursued further. At the same time, the monotony and anonymity that are traditionally closely associated with modular basic structures are counteracted by targeted offsets in the modules.

The access cores are arranged along the street façades and create projections and recesses that structure the views and take up the direction of Karl-Schönleben-Straße. Larger offsets on the courtyard side create a dynamic image that contrasts with the smooth, wall-like façade design of the existing buildings opposite and helps to enliven the inner courtyard.
