„coming home“ // the project clever combines the symbiosis of the ailing old building and the wrapping new part. a coherent harmonious design, retaining the autonomy of old and new. the old building designed as a clear black&white living vision; the new buidling, transparent, communicates integration of nature and proximity to the park. vertical wooden elements will be planted by the residents. the building volume situated in the neighbourhood of the historical invalidenfriedhof, is structured proportionally by the façade panels. the designer handle their assignment with a multidimensional approach. john park is not just a block of architecture but uses the mutual cross-fertilization of different architecture task fields and experiences of pfs. all interests of good living are recorded to the very last detail. the living not just starts at the door, it starts with the first sight of the buidling: haptic surfaces, visible from the outside, the lighting and planting concept up to the apartment layouts. not a typical developer planning but intelligent floorplans with niches for closets and airy, open rooms. the ground floor is 1,3 meter higher than the courtyeard and the streetlevel. the result: a better wellbeing and furthermore apartments without underlying parking or split-level with room heights of 4,2m. a new quality of life and living in an era of expensive small boxes.
