Project Description:
Limestone, beige, honed C120
This building complex with 26,000 m2 of shopping and office space respects the delicate features of the surrounding historic city centre. Unlike a typical shopping centre, the light limestone façade was designed to appear as six adjacent houses. Natural stone cladding allows the complex to blend in harmoniously with the surrounding buildings while also exhibiting new characteristic features. Awarded an honourable mention by the 2007 German natural stone prize.
