Kaufmannsmühlenkamp . Bremen
The winning project by EM2N for the site on Kaufmannsmühlenkamp in Bremen, on which the German Armed Forces high-rise stands, complements the existing 14-storey tower block by adding two precisely positioned residential buildings, a compact, point-like building and a long, low-rise block, to create an ensemble that provides a sense of identity. A plinth connecting these buildings houses communal and public functions and, along with the associated outdoor spaces, creates places of encounter that can be easily appropriated and produce an open, programmatic piece of city in this quarter.
