Neufreimann MU 1 (8) Munich

The entire facility does not require the fire department to be escorted in the event of a fire. Both parts of the building are accessed via arcades, each with two structural escape routes and elevator cores. The arcades and balcony strips form an inner ring as an open, communicative development figure around the inner courtyard.

The different parts of the building are characterized by their different usage requirements and the resulting varying building heights.

The roof area is interpreted as a covered open space for the community.

A communal roof garden offers the residents both retreat possibilities and common meeting spaces.

Following on from residential quarters in Munich during the Gründerzeit and in memory of the former Bavarian barracks, Neufreimann is conceived as an urban place of classical order. Thus, the outer facade facing the urban space forms the hard shell as a massive masonry construction.

The soft core is formed by the wooden construction facing the inner courtyard as an arcade and a balcony zone. The pincer construction stands as a permeable layer in the courtyard and interlocks with the residential structure. On pergolas in the courtyard and on loggias of the exterior facades with ground connection, climbing plants are to provide for rapid pioneer greening.
