Construction of a new residential and nursery building in Cologne-Weidenpesch
Housing and a nursery on a single site
As part of the project, an existing single-storey nursery will be replaced by a new building. The building will be constructed using solid construction methods and will adjoin the existing residential development on three sides. A four-group nursery will be created on the ground floor and first floor. Sixteen residential units will be built on the floors above. The main building will be complemented by a one- to two-storey garden extension.
New building with a gross floor area of approximately 2,927 m²
The new building has a total gross floor area of 2,927 m². The basement houses technical and storage rooms, as well as a connection to the residential complex’s existing underground car park.
Building envelope and technical systems
The new building is designed to feature a thermally insulated façade with brick slip cladding, green flat roofs as well as technical systems for energy supply. The building concept includes: Furthermore, the project aims to achieve DGNB Silver certification.
- Heat pump
- Solar installation
- Green roof areas
- Technical and storage rooms in the basement
- Connection to the existing underground car park
Site logistics within the existing development
The construction site is located within an existing residential neighbourhood. Access is via the rear green space only, as the existing underground car park ceiling has only a limited load-bearing capacity. A temporary access road will be constructed for the runtime of the works and will be dismantled before the start of the gardening and landscaping works.
Protection of the existing building and surroundings
During construction, measures to protect the existing trees will be taken into account. In addition, the works will be coordinated to meet the requirements of the neighbouring nursery as well as comply with applicable health and safety regulations. Construction processes will be organised within the existing residential environment, taking into account site logistics, access to the site and the requirements of adjacent uses.
Foundation for new residential and childcare spaces
The new development will create spaces for childcare and housing within the existing quarter. The construction project comprises the erection of a new seven-storey building, the installation of technical infrastructure as well as its integration into the existing built environment.
