Manzinger Strasse Erding

The rhythmically structured facades are characterized by a change in materials between the lower floors and the fourth floor, giving the buildings the classic proportions of brick-covered cooperative houses. Together with the open space design, this creates a unique, harmonious living atmosphere.

The open space is divided into a central, urban zone and a quieter garden area. Manzinger Straße is naturally integrated as a public space. A neighborhood square is being created in the south as a central meeting place.

The buildings form clearly visible access points at their inner corners. The passageways created by the structures connect the open spaces on the ground floor. The underground parking garage is mainly located beneath the buildings, keeping the degree of sealing to a minimum.

Each of the five structures is accessed via a central staircase with an elevator. Short pergola walkways lead to the apartments, creating communicative access zones. External staircases also provide a second structural escape route. Despite their different volumes, the buildings are highly similar. Recurring elements and construction principles promote cost-effectiveness, precision, and a uniform architectural language.

The massive stairwell cores are connected to a load-bearing brick structure in bulkhead construction. The ceilings are designed as an innovative combination of wood and clay elements.

The façade consists of two functionally distinct layers: load-bearing brick bulkheads and non-load-bearing, insulating façade areas. In protected areas such as loggias or pergolas, the surfaces are plastered or limewashed, giving the houses a simple, robust appearance. In more exposed areas, the outer skin alternates between recycled clinker bricks and vertically laid roof tiles. This interplay creates depth and texture while also tying in with regional building traditions.
