Chemnitz, 2021

On Johannisplatz in the city centre of Chemnitz, the Johannis-Quartier was built on a 5,700 sqm site. It consists of an office and commercial building including an underground car park and a hotel building with 172 rooms. The new office building attracts attention with its radiant white, sculptural façades. The new building with six full storeys is oriented towards the eaves height of the neighbouring buildings.

The building takes up the reconstruction spirit of the city centre from the 1970s - 80s and develops a strong effect towards the street space.

The volume is horizontally oriented: Panoramic windows extend across the entire façade, framed by white, sculpturally shaped ribbon structures. The wave motifs interpret the building's use associatively and stand for exchange, movement, energy flow.

The landscaped atrium is extended to the ground floor as part of the inner courtyard.
