Zollinger-construction
To ensure the most sustainable and efficient construction possible, a variant of the Zollinger construction method was used for the design.
Building within existing structure
In this module, we looked at a half-timbered building in the center of Nördlingen that has existed for centuries. After several days of surveying with the entire semester, the first task was to precisely analyze the building's construction, building physics and use. It was then to be renovated for residential use in accordance with the current state of the art. To this end, the existing building was to be extended by adding an annex or an extension to the property. The new building was not defined in terms of its use and design. This gave the architects the freedom to express themselves freely in terms of the supporting structure and design without losing the connection to the existing building.
Sculptural staircase
The upper apartment of the renovated timbered house is accessed via a sculptural steel staircase. This begins in the publicly accessible inner courtyard of the property and extends over the roof terrace of the studio.Bachelor V
