BAT residential ensemble with kindergarten

Description

The residential high-rise, workers' hostel, and childcare facility form an ensemble. The apartment towers were placed diagonally opposite each other. The connecting wood-concrete composite pedestal houses a kindergarten, its wings en-close two courtyards. The different uses are expressed by a formally differentiated façade that is connected by materiality and texture. The two towers are united by a shell of brick-work, accented by elements of silvery aluminium: the windows of the 50 workers' flats are protected by sliding sunshades made of aluminium slats. The fifty-meter-high tower houses 77 social housing units. The slats of the balustrades create an effect that looks like three-dimensional bulges.
