Euro net Three buildings are planned as new mixed-use developments on top of an existing base: A linear-block as an office building and two point-blocks as residential development (House A & B).

They include 43 residential units distributed over five storeys (four standard storeys and one penthouse). A new outdoor area with green spaces, gardens for private use and a playground for children as well as a bicycle parking area are located on top of the underground parking. The office building: In the façade view of the office building, a visual, lively sequence is created.

The emerging rhythm appears as a recurring accentuation. The rhythm modulates an otherwise strict sequence by grouping without tension and deliberately creating imbalances. A strict beat must sometimes be added to the steadiness of the movement so that the rhythm is experienced in direct contrast. The visual design I device structures the façade image. Floor plans and sections as a “choreographic score”, but also the contrast of light and shadow zones, which is created by daylight are factors in the rhythm.
