The Lyoner Quarter in Frankfurt Niederrad is to be transformed. The first plans for the restructuring of this existing office area shall provide a range of new attractive living spaces. This pilot project for the restructuring of the Lyoner quarter reorganized an existing derelict office tower into a block of flats by Stefan Forster Architekten. The client Dreyer Vierte Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH redesigned and modified an unused 14-storied office building at 19 Lyoner Street into a 17-storied residential tower. The floors between 1 to 17 of the building are designated for living use, the ground floor is to commercial units, with a single-storey underground parking garage. In June 2010 ninety-eight accommodation units and a commercial unit were completed and provided onto the market with a combined floor area 6.900 sqm. The accommodation unit consists of two and three-room apartments which are partially furnished to a high standard. This development appeal to people working in or near the office city „Niederrad“ of the airport. The existing construction has been retained and adapted. Utilizing classic Modernist principles the building is articulated with a ribbon facade of the extended glass areas. By adding an additional 3 floors the building becomes more elegantly proportioned.
