With its bright and cheerful character, the new development gives a completely new expression to the quarter, which is characterised by old buildings. Towards the Panke River, which is lined by tall trees, the new residential complex with 180 apartments completes and extends the urban block. Bright plaster facades and openings as well as the loggias and balconies lead to a clear external appearance with a varied play of light and shadow. The connecting horizontal banding of the facades has a subtle effect. The U-shaped courtyard on the Uferstraße forms the semi-public entrance to the new residential complex. A passageway leads to a second courtyard, which provides access to the two smaller individual buildings of the ensemble. Robust materials characterise the paths and walls. Islands of native trees and shrubs add structure to the stimulatingly designed outdoor areas. Here the residents are offered a range of opportunities for joint neighbourly activities, relaxation and communication.

The GESOBAU project was developed by the architectural offices Arnold und Gladisch Architekten and DMSW Architekten in a joint venture. K1 landscape architects designed the outdoor spaces.
