The Seven – Living in the historical
town centre
The former thermal power station in Müllerstrasse will
be used as an apartment building in the future. The
project, comprising the future 15-storey living tower
and a neighbouring atrium, will be home to service
facilities among other things. There will also be a
day care centre. In all it contains more than 100 new
apartments, so it is incorrect to speak only of luxury
living space here. Local amenities and the improved
greenery all benefit from this remodelling.
The Hofstatt – Living and shopping in
the abandoned commercial block
The redesign of the Süddeutsche Zeitung complex in
the heart of the city generates a new quality from the
loss of a central utilisation, which succeeds in opening
the entire block to surrounding structures, thus creating
a new kind of public space. At the same time, topquality
contemporary architecture comes to the fore
here, which radiates its influence throughout the entire
city, and it brings a new mix of usages to the quarter,
with apartments and social infrastructure such
as day care centres and local amenities. Particularly
noteworthy, I think, is that this project makes a contribution
to the city as a whole, despite its very prominent
luxury locations, as it is open to the public and
not only attractive to the privileged few. It succeeds in
doing so by allowing ordinary everyday usages in its
ground floor zone that can be accessed by anybody.
Early on, Munich decided to realise at least a 30%
share of living space in inner-city projects. Already ten
years ago investors considered this resolution to be
untenable in the central old town and inner city. Today
they haggle over getting a higher housing percentage,
and the projects generate top prices.
Vogelweideplatz – Driveway to the city
and high-rise ensemble
At the eastern entrance to the city another project just
as interesting is being realised: the joining of several
roads, a new high-rise office building ensemble can
now be developed at Vogelweideplatz. It is a fantastic
design that plays with varying building heights. The five
buildings of between 46 m and 91 m are in just the right
place. What is more, it makes it apparent that the important
thing is how high-rise buildings are perceived
in the street space. What happens at the foot of these
buildings? What is possible? The currently inhospitable
space will soon be a top-quality public park that enables
the people who work there and the people who already
live in the locality to go for a stroll and buy an ice-cream.
