The innovative new neighbourhood in the heart of Karlsruhe
This modern urban quarter in the heart of the Baden metropolis is synonymous with modern living in a prime location. The quarter will include attractive apartments in a range of sizes. The goal: intergenerational living in KWARTIER, where comfort and functionality are key features. KWARTIER HOMES is designed by the KRESINGS architectural office and is seamlessly integrated into an architecturally heterogeneous environment consisting of a new development area, the old town and buildings from the 1970s and 80s.
KWARTIER – the perfect place to live
KWARTIER HOMES is an ideal place to live with a series of distinct spaces dedicated to public, semi-public and private use. The inner courtyard is a sheltered retreat with a combination of private and shared spaces. The architects have taken inspiration from the mix of epochs and materials with large-scale proportions – in keeping with Karlsruhe’s Südstadt. The facade modulates both horizontally and vertically and is designed in a variety of colours. The building’s elegant form harmonises with the surroundings to create a coherent overall presence.
