Wohnvielfalt am Grasbrookpark

Description

A residential building with a dark clinker brick façade and balconies in white, the Wohnvielfalt am Grasbrookpark is only a ten-minute walk from the famous Elbphilharmonie. It has been designed by architects BBK-3 (Vienna/Hamburg) based on their ample experience in social and community housing in Vienna. A shared basement harbouring a kindergarten, various retail spaces, delivery points and access to the underground car park carries a six-storey residential building with 136 flats.


Statement of the jury

The white balconies create an interesting contrast to the brickwork facade and exude quality. The ring-shaped floor plan of the building forms an attractive inner courtyard. The distinctive opening in the ring gives the architecture not only a pleasant open appearance, but also increases the amount of sunlight coming in.
