Abstract


This building belongs to a branch of a German firm of car manufacturers. The ground area covered by the building is about 550 m2. The basement is taken up with a store of spare parts. The ground floor serves as workshop and garage. There are two storeys occupied with the firms' offices, and five more storeys devoted to living apartments. The latter have an independent stairs. The volume distribution of this project has been carefully thought out, so that its various functions can be served in the best possible manner, within an integrated architectural conception. Materials have also been chosen to harmonise as much as possible with the general character of the building, and the reinforced concrete structure has been left partly visible, both externally and internally. The design of the apartments is such that these are not too expensive, since they are meant to be occupied by people of the middle income group. The various flats only differ from each other in slight variations. The external aspect of the building shows a dynamic and contrasting quality, which takes fully into account the sorrounding environment.
