Wiel Arets Architects (WAA) has won a competition to design a cluster of four mixed-use towers adjacent to Munich’s Hirschgarten station in Germany, for Aurelis Real Estate and OFB Projektentwicklung.
The 68.300m² Am Hirschgarten structures will be built like a campus, comprising four horseshoe-shaped buildings, each with a plinth of six to seven storeys to offer space for offices, hotels and retail.
According to WAA, the cluster will be situated along the city’s light-rail lines, a few hundred metres from multiple stops along the city’s tram lines, enabling easy access throughout the entire city.
The courtyard of each building will be separated from surrounding public space by a single-storey pergola serving as a buffer zone between public and semi-public exterior areas.
Each building will have a depth of around 18m creating interior flexibility and providing abundant daylight to the office workspaces.
In order to maintain a semi-bucolic character in the spaces between the buildings, all entrances will be orientated toward public roads.
