Street view of Bad-Schachener-Strasse<br />

Artwork by Klaus Behr<br />

Corner of Bad-Schachener-Strasse/<br />

Echardinger Strasse<br />

The architect Michael Ziller won the<br />

urban development ideas competition<br />

for the Maikäfer Estate with a design<br />

that is as consistent as it is flexible:<br />

preserving the character of the estate,<br />

maintaining the green areas, and at the<br />

same time undertaking considerable<br />

consolidation. The four-storey residential<br />

and commercial <strong>build</strong>ing with shops and<br />

58 apartments faces the road as a noise<br />

barrier. The rear sides of the apartments<br />

open out towards the quiet garden with<br />

large, protected patios. This <strong>build</strong>ing<br />

phase was completed in January 2009,<br />

to replace 92 demolished residential<br />

units, which have now undergone contemporary<br />

reinterpretation.<br />

The underground garage has 106<br />

spaces for both tenants and customers<br />

of the shops, and has been skilfully concealed<br />

below the <strong>build</strong>ing. All apartments,<br />

shops and even the garage have<br />

barrier-free access.<br />
