Neuried town center – new construction of the town hall

The compact structure is divided into five rectangular building volumes. They accommodate different areas of use and their physicality is also clearly perceptible inside the building. The largest partial volume is the large meeting hall, which is prominently oriented on two floors towards the town hall square. Other special uses such as the mayor’s offices and the wedding room occupy another building block in the southeast with a view back to the Anger space.

The central space of the town hall is the spacious atrium with galleries to all floors and a representative curved staircase as the main access for all areas of use. As a place of communication and community, it accommodates all waiting and reception areas. On the first floor there is space for exhibitions.

In accordance with the respective requirements from the different areas of use, the facade features transparent, translucent and closed areas. Accordingly, a continuous vertical basic structure is either filled with flat panels, fitted with windows, or – in the special areas such as the large meeting room, the marriage room or the staircase – filled with a curtain of standing wooden slats. The building joints will be clad with white etched industrial glass. The facade wood will be brushed and flamed. Carbonization makes the wood extremely durable and requires almost no maintenance. The warm silvery surface has a silky sheen and gives the new town hall a festive look.
