At the end of the 1960s, the Veterinary and Food Inspection Office was established in the eastern part of Bielefeld's city center. The two-story building with a flat roof was typical of the architecture of its time and stood in stark contrast to the otherwise fairly homogeneous neighborhood, which was characterized by detached residential buildings with sloping roofs. At the end of the last decade, the offices were relocated to another site. Since then, the building has stood empty.
The property has now been sold and, following the demolition of the former veterinary and supervisory office, is to be converted into residential use. The design sees the task as an opportunity for careful urban repair and aims to integrate the new building masses into the existing structure of the surrounding area in terms of urban planning and architecture.
To this end, three structures are proposed, whose size and shape are based on the immediately adjacent buildings along Oststraße. The structure on the north side follows the line of these buildings, while the eastern structure follows the line of the church along Fritz-Reuter-Straße. The building at the junction of Fritz-Reuter-Straße and Oststraße, on the other hand, emphasizes the corner where the two streets meet.
The layout of the buildings allows the existing trees to be preserved, enhancing the quality of life for residents. It also creates a quiet outdoor space shielded from public view, which is available to residents as a park-like garden.
The southern and eastern buildings are connected on the ground floor, which houses a bakery. The ground floor of the northern building is also intended for commercial use. The upper floors of the three buildings will house apartments ranging in size from 60 to 120 square meters. Access to the buildings will be from Oststraße and a small semi-public forecourt adjacent to it. The required parking spaces will be located in an underground garage, the entrance to which will be located at the northern boundary of the property.
