n two separate structures, space is being created for a new bank branch and a notary's office. A new, barrier-free bridge between the buildings organizes the pathway on the sloped property. The parking spaces of the neighboring football stadium can be preserved by elevating the buildings.
The center of each structure features a spacious atrium. It acts as a green lung and allows for natural lighting and ventilation. This design makes it possible to forgo resource-intensive mechanical air conditioning of the buildings. The opening of all living spaces towards the atrium emphasizes transparency and creates a clear spatial organization of the interiors.
The load-bearing structure of the upper floors is mostly made of wood. The moisture-regulating properties of the exposed wood surfaces improve the indoor climate. At the request of the builders, reinforced concrete walls were used on the ground floor.
