KITA STORCHENNEST

Contextual Designing | 5th Semester | Education Building

Markkleeberg is a suburb south of Leipzig, characterised by many single-family houses with gardens and other 2-3-storey buildings such as hotels and retirement homes. As more young families move there to escape the city, another kindergarten is needed - a pretty big one with 135 spaces.

The arrangement of gabled houses adapts perfectly to the suburban surroundings and breaks down the scale to children's size.

Despite the playfulness, the interior is structured and makes things easier for the educators with short distances and many visual axes.

The design invites to play, run and hide and seek, but also offers cosy corners and sheltered places for the toddlers.

WORK AND SHOP AT ALEX

Contextual Designing | 4th Semester | Office buildings

The “Alexanderplatz” is one of the greyest places in Berlin. This project is supposed to change that. The sixstorey building with space for retail, office and coworking spaces has a green heart as well as a rooftop terrace whose planting creates a natural filter over the view into the city.

The almost square building area was divided into a clear cross using the two access cores, the two opposite indented entrances for shopping and the high office reception on the east side. This striking structure is only interrupted by 2 organically shaped stairs, which meander through the entire body as a central element.

OBSERVATION TOWER BISTUMSHÖHE

Structural Design | 4th Semester | Steel Construction | Building an observation tower in Leipzig

Many lakes form the local recreation area in the formal open-cast lignite coal mining region in the south of Leipzig. The Cospudener lake is the most popular summer destination. Especially families come here for swimming, cycling, eating some ice cream, feeding the bison in the wild animal park or just enjoying nature. Located on the south end of the lake the tower marks the half way on the loop around the lake and allows spectacular views over the floodplain forrest all the way to Leipzig in the north and more lakes and formal mining machines in the south.

STAIR CAVE TO HEAVEN

Structural Design | 3rd Semester | Concrete Construction | creating a rest area

“The Grjótagjá caves in northern Iceland are home to some of the most beautiful geothermal pools in the world, and were made famous after appearing on Game of Thrones. Unfortunately, excessive tourism is damaging the natural surroundings of this delicate region.

Run in partnership with the landowners of Vogar farmland, this is the fourth in Bee Breeders series of architecture competitions set in Iceland, and the jury are looking for solutions that provide simple amenities, as well as amazing architecture.“

Shape derives from surrounding

m ountains and doubles as a gate to the cave as well as a ramp to look inside the crack from above.

Stairs

…a llow to walk up and down for different perspectives and a 3 60° view over the cars into the mountains

…provide space for informal sitting, eating and resting.

KS 17

Interior Designing | 3rd Semester | Designing and building a chair

Concept: This chair system is simple, flexible and affordable. It can be folded away in seconds and be changed in its width by adding or removing some of the wooden struts.

It is a designer chair for ALL (minimalists). It is sustainable and follows the cradle-to-cradle principles. Apart from the legs, all pieces have the same dimensions and therefore they can be produced cheaply. Only simple wooden struts and three threaded rods out of steel are needed.
