Sustainable and modern living in wood.

Praschl-Goodarzi Architekten ZT-GmbH (P.GOOD) as Architects

In the project in the Alte Poststraße, the focus is specifically on wood as a building material, thus elegant and modern houses with a high feel-good character were created. At the same time, the ecological footprint of the buildings is to be reduced through the use of a sustainable, renewable raw material that is available locally.

On top of a basement with underground parking in concrete construction, two structures in timber construction were placed. The supporting structure of the three- and four-story buildings, including the stairwell and elevator shaft, is made entirely of cross-laminated timber. The ceilings in exposed wood quality and the real wood floors ensure particularly cozy and comfortable living. The bright staircases and generous green spaces complete the living experience and provide a friendly environment. The open space in the new residential district is dedicated to people as a generous space for movement, whether in the private gardens or in the generally accessible, landscaped open spaces. Thanks to the car-free traffic concept, there is unrestricted freedom of movement for young and old alike.

The various buildings on the site provide modern, high-quality living for young and old. In addition to several playgrounds, there is a kindergarten and a retirement home directly on the site. A long building shields the new residential area from the railroad line and gives the residential area a calm and feel-good character. The wooden residential building  POST QUADRAT is located in the middle of this new residential area and impresses with its quiet location surrounded by green spaces and generally usable open space.
