The Eurospar is in the vicinity of large residential areas and many footpaths from the surrounding area lead to the new market via footpaths and cycle paths. These paths lead from all sides from Auwiesen and Kleinmünchen, from Dauphinestrasse and Wienerstrasse to the new Eurospar. In addition to the urban planning situation as a free-standing solitaire, this dense connection with the environment explains the elliptical shape of the building. A differentiation between the front and back is largely eliminated. There are no corners and all paths lead along the building to the entrance.
The compressed circular shape of the ellipse creates a differentiation of the view sides. Depending on the point of view, the market sometimes appears wider, sometimes narrower without defined building edges. The wide entrance front on the long side is oriented towards the parking lot, but due to the curve it opens up towards Wienerstrasse in the direction of Kleinmünchen. Flows of customers from all directions should be attracted.
The entrance zone is defined and emphasized by a canopy, which is also elliptical in shape. Like a shifted layer of the building, the canopy protrudes to varying degrees over the edges of the building and intuitively guides customers from all sides to the entrance.
Next to the basic form is the vertically structured facade. made of metallically shimmering aluminum profiles that are obvious and formative. This facade envelops the entire market like a banderole and ensures a calm but lively appearance. The material reflects the light diffusely and without glare in order to emphasize the curved basic shape. Light openings cut into the facades for ancillary rooms are integrated into the overall picture by a grid of vertical slats placed in front of them.
