The new residential and commercial building by Stefan Forster Architekten - originally resulted from a competition – is located in the northeastern city center of Mannheim in the square “R7”. The house is a mediating link between the different epochs of the context. The two staggered volume pick out the central theme of the curved road and the connection between the other edge of the block and the high-rise building from the 50s. A clear differentiation between private space, sidewalk and street is created by a garden wall made of brick. The concentration of the perimeter block in combination with the individualization by a subtle structured facade that refers to the language of Mannheims architectural tradition of the big blocks, provides a high quality completion of open space adjacent to the “Lamey” garden. Light-coloured ledges emphasize the horizontal design of the building and provide a harmonious contrast to the brown brick. Finely profiled ribbon facade, deep-drawn parapets, accentuated reveals and
deep roof cuts give the building a cautious plasticity. The courtyard facade with its continuous balconies opens onto the park. The business premises for the client “Spar- und Bauverein” are located in the ground floor. In the upper floors 34 barrier-free
spacious apartments with generous balconies are accessed via two stairwells. The desired sustainability is achieved through the realization of a KfW Efficiency House 40, as well as the traditional brick-qualities, such as stable value, durability and no need for
maintenance.
