Due to its exposed location, in an area that has been neglected in terms of urban development for years, the building sets accents in particular from an architectural, structural and ecological point of view and makes a significant contribution to the revitalization and upgrading of the environment.
The new building blends in with the surrounding historic buildings in terms of urban development and refers to the existing building heights and their scale. A concise façade concept in terms of materiality and structure, which is based on the historic buildings, but is nevertheless independent enough to hold its own against the buildings of the adjacent shopping centre, makes the hotel an identity-giving building on the city terrace.
The concept of the hotel is based on the approach of developing a building that is consistently sustainable and future-oriented in terms of organisation, construction and materiality. The greatest possible reduction in CO2 emissions plays a key role in both construction and operation.
As the first inner-city hotel in building class 4 in timber modular construction, the hotel will bring numerous hotel guests into contact with the topic of timber construction due to its high-frequency use. Decisive for the qualities of timber modular construction is the relocation of production and the concentration of many manual work steps in a weather-protected hall. This creates an "extended construction site" on which work is carried out parallel to the actual construction process and the results of which are integrated into the building site in a short assembly time.
