Schwabinger Carré II

The angular apartment building on the west side displays large, volumetrically effective incisions in the main façades. These reveal a 3-metre recessed transparent building layer that continues upwards in the roof storeys. The roof landscape, with its individually arranged stylistic idiom, provides a high residential quality on the generously dimensioned roof terraces. Its expression is a reference to the typical terraced buildings the neighbourhood. The building contains about 100 apartments of varying sizes, which are reached via 4 staircases and are homogeneously connected to the 3-storey underground garage.

As a reaction to this modular character, the building with micro-apartments and a supermarket in Schleissheimer Strasse is subject to usage of a more rigorous order. The two-storey roof construction is interlocked at the street corner with an over-high building section and thus finds coherence in the overall corpus. Both depth and conscious proportion are created in the façade. In the front layer, shelf-type stone construction structures the appearance. On the second level, it is filled with partly massive façade elements that meet both acoustic and climatic requirements. The building is accessed via a central lobby with lifts and has room for about 95 apartments.

In accordance with the character of the superblock, both building elements are slightly set back from the road and have different intermediate ground spaces according to the various usages.
