Completion of construction site 3 in the maxfrei residential quarter, Düsseldorf

Where walls once blocked the view, the new urban quarter maxfrei has created a car-free neighbourhood. With the completion of construction site 3, HPP Architects have contributed to this new urban living space.

For Arrow Global Germany GmbH with Joint Partner Hamburg Team, HPP Architects have realised a residential block that focuses on clear structures, diverse forms of living and a differentiated roof landscape. The staggered upper floors create spacious terraces and roof gardens as green retreats in the middle of the city. The relief-like brick façade gives the building a striking presence and references the listed chapel in the centre of the quarter.

"The chapel was our starting point for materials and colours," says Thomas Heimowski, Associate Partner at HPP. "We wanted a façade that respects history while also showcasing contemporary architecture."

There is a short interview about the project with Thomas Heimowski on KS's YouTube channel.
