Feldstraße

Feldstraße

The Feldstrasse residential development lies half way between the main station and the east station in Offenbach city centre. The narrow plot, once an extension of the railway embankment with retaining walls bordering the street, first had to be made usable as building land by removing material and reconsolidating the ground.

On a plot on the edge of Calenberger Neustadt, close to the city centre, a total of 135 subsidized, cooperative and freehold apartments and a children's day nursery were built by Stefan Forster and his team. The new building takes its cue from the typical 19th-century block-edge development common in the vicinity, the design of each façade adapted slightly in response to the different situations.

In the southeast of Hamburg lies Lohbrügge-Ost, a large 1960s housing estate. As a typical commuter-belt settlement, it was designed to conform to the ideal of a modern garden city – it comprises high-rise blocks up to 17 floors high, lines of apartment blocks, row houses and free-standing single-family houses, all arranged amidst largely undifferentiated green spaces.

Statement on the war in Ukraine

Russia has attacked Ukraine. This is an assault on a sovereign, democratic country for which there is no justification. This war is a European catastrophe and an attack on the fundamental democratic values of freedom, the inviolability of borders and the renunciation of force.

Platensiedlung

Platensiedlung

Situation … Demand for affordable housing in cities and urban areas is growing; at the same time building land is an ever scarcer resource. Meeting that demand and reducing land use are twin challenges for local-authority planners. How can they create much needed affordable housing and at the same time make better use of limited space?

Schloßstraße

Von-Bernus-Park is a quiet, almost hidden spot in the western part of the district of Bockenheim in Frankfurt. From the 1970s onwards, next to the main entrance on Schloßstraße (which means castle street), there was an unremarkable flat-roofed building, occupied by various cafés and bars over the years. This building was sold shortly after 2010 to project developers Ardi Goldman and Ronny Weiner.

For this community centre in Frankfurt’s Westhafen district, the client – the Evangelische Hoffnungsgemeinde – wanted a multifunctional building with a symbolic effect, suitable for both church services and cultural events as well as providing accommodation for the elderly. The result is a building that integrates quietly into the new urban district yet still stands out from afar as a marker.
