“The creation of new routes, public parks and a multitude of commercial and private programs ensures that the complex has a wide variety of uses, thereby maximizing its contribution to the regeneration of Weilburg’s historic core,” explained the architects.
The building envelope is structured in horizontal layers which gradually change into different forms of use. Layers of horizontal stone “fins” filter daylight, provide natural ventilation to open areas, and provide sun shading for needed functions. Externally, the fins are used as steps, planters, benches and circulation spaces to create public routes and parks within the project. Variations in the thickness, spacing and position allow the fins to form larger openings like entrances, balconies and windows so they can drive the overall aesthetic of the project.
