Telekomareal Konstanz

The conversion of the striking 16-storey former Telekom high-rise in Konstanz-Petershausen into a residential building with a lower-level commercial component is intended to transform the structure and its surrounding into a lively part of the city. A24’s design of the public and semi-public open spaces flows from the planning by Holzer Kobler. The adjacent park from the 1960s now encroaches on the buildings, as the sealed former parking spaces give way to green meadows and the embrace of old existing trees. Easy pedestrian access, seating areas, a playground and a healthy mix of residential, commercial and social facilities create a neighbourhood open to its surroundings.
