Municipal Hall
Lohr a. Main, Germany
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2016
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The municipal hall’s irregular heptagon occupies a brownfield area near the historical old town of Lohr, just a few paces from the bank of the River Main. The new building’s geometry assumes the heterogeneous character of the surroundings – the city, river, circular traffic, sports fields, an outdoor swimming pool and a hotel – while its all-round orientation makes it the crystallisation point and initiating element of the neglected district’s revitalisation.
The building entrance opens up towards the town, combining with the existing hotel to formulate a prestigious forecourt that can be used for events and gastronomic services. The hall, which has a capacity of 800 people, offers a view of the adjoining landscape.
The polygonal volume was constructed as a sculptural clinker-brick building with only a few, apertures as targeted incisions. In the foyer area, which is lit from above, the materiality of the façade is continued in the interior, thereby elevating the outdoor-indoor transition to a spatially formative concept.
A surrounding gallery connects the conference areas and the hall’s terrace on the foyer’s upper level. The two-storey glazing towards the south affords view of the River Main. In addition to the large glass areas, scattered punched windows also offer various perspectives; their broad wooden frames create the appearance of paintings hanging in a salon.
