2020–
Introduction
The 23,000 square meters mixed-use development is located on a former industrial site in the Heyligenstaedt area of Gießen. Snøhetta’s winning proposal focuses on the diverse uses, the history and the characteristics of the public spaces in the new urban quarter.
Technical details
Gewerbepark Heyligenstaedt GmbH & Co. KG
Snøhetta's design is based on the different uses, the history and the special features of the public spaces of the new urban quarter and comprises several buildings to ensure the diversity of the neighbourhood. The design concepts for four different courtyard situations focus on specific atmospheres. The uses and atmospheres inspire and define the architecture, design and materials used in the buildings. The three- and four-story blocks are predominantly built in timber.
The mixed-use development includes office and commercial space as well as a hotel, restaurants and appartements. The range of open spaces include a tranquil green oasis as well as a lively urban space with meeting points, event space, café terraces and restaurant gardens or an attractive atrium space for sports activities.
