KWArtier is a current project of GIEAG Immobilien AG. Six renowned architectural firms were recently shortlisted in the competition for the new housing construction. At the end KRESINGS convinced the jury with its design. If you look at the environment, it becomes clear that the property is surrounded by a heterogeneous architecture consisting of a development area, the old town and buildings from the 70s and 80s. The architects respond to the epoch and material mix by incorporating the block-edge structure of the surroundings into their design, thus adapting to the large-scale proportions of Karlsruhe. The facade receives a horizontal and vertical modulation and is designed in different colors. The result is a quiet building form that self-confidently asserts itself in its environment. The projections and recesses give the impression of grouped units, counteract the large scale of the apartment block and, in harmony with the surroundings, create a harmonious overall picture. The exterior design contributes to maintaining the classical hierarchy between public, semi-public and private spaces. On the one hand, the privacy of the ground floor apartments can be guaranteed by the surrounding green area on the building's pedestal. On the other hand, the courtyard is a protected retreat area with private and common areas. The new residential district should promote a good neighborhood in the future: Away from anonymous side-by-side towards friendly cooperation!
