RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
The church of St Gabriel to the north and the magnificent trees create a very special atmosphere in the courtyard ensemble. The project's main task is to strengthen the character of the courtyard and allow both the new and existing residential buildings to benefit from it. With the newly created higher density, the special character of the site should continue to be experienced by all residents. The valuable tree population will be almost completely preserved. The view through the passage of the two new buildings to the other side of the courtyard is still possible and thus the relationship between the two long sides.
The new buildings adapt to the conditions of the site and the existing trees and take into account the distances to the existing buildings. In doing so, they create new, differentiated spaces that make the entire courtyard permeable and thus tangible, but also define new places. The courtyard is reorganised into zones. The quieter garden courtyard remains free of development, while the busier courtyard on the east side of the ensemble serves to provide access to the houses and is more heavily paved. The passage between the buildings is a narrower space that contrasts sharply with the other courtyard spaces.
The two buildings each accommodate two houses. These are organised as 3 and 4 storeys. The third new building in the courtyard is located on the firewall to the south and will be used as a children's house.
The design of the double-skin masonry buildings is developed from the surrounding buildings. The light-coloured masonry façades of the new buildings are based on the existing residential buildings in terms of colour and the structure and materiality of the clinker bricks of the church. The windows and solar shading are slightly different on the two buildings - so there are three independently behaving individuals in the courtyard.
CHILDREN'S HOUSE
The third new building is located on the only firewall in the courtyard. It is used as a children's day care centre. The four-storey building houses one kindergarten and three crèche groups, each group has its own floor - with the group rooms and associated ancillary rooms. The internal circulation consists of a double helix staircase, which forms the two required structural escape routes. These are designed in two very different bright colours: the staircase from the main entrance in yellow, the staircase to the garden in green. The group rooms allow many views of the courtyard and the surrounding trees through large windows in all directions.
The children's house differs from the residential buildings in terms of the size and colour of the windows, as well as the sun protection.
ROOF CONSTRUCTION
Following the redensification measure with residential buildings in the inner courtyard of the apartment block between Einstein-, Bray- and Versailler Straße, Palais Mai was commissioned in 2014 to investigate further densification of the 1930s apartment block by converting the attic storeys previously used as attics.
After some deliberation, it was decided to demolish the existing roof trusses. The kneeling storey was rebuilt and, including the roof truss, was raised approx. 1 metre above the previous height. In two houses on Versailler Strasse, an additional new full storey is planned as part of the conversion. The previously lower buildings will then catch up with the other buildings in terms of height.
An installation level above the existing floor and a mixed construction of the roof truss made of wood and steel allow the floor plans to be developed largely independently with room heights of up to 5 metres. A total of 30 new flats will be created in the project, which comprises 14 houses.
The spacious living spaces all have recessed and covered loggia balconies. The dormer and loggia roofs harmonise the new roofscape and blend naturally into the existing residential block.
New lifts in the inner courtyard facilitate access for existing and future tenants and give the courtyard façades a new order. Separate lift design approaches are being developed for the different façade designs of the east and south/west blocks.
