On the street side, on the north-east side of the car park, large planter boxes are distributed over the full height of the façade, so that the entire façade can be greened using stainless steel climbing nets.
In order to create the 284 parking spaces required for the residential area on the limited footprint of 34x38 m, the parking decks spiral up over seven levels to a roof height of 23 m.
Façade
Sustainable façade garden concept
The galvanised steel façade is both reminiscent of the former industrial harbour and emphasises the service character of the building. The structured surface gives the C26 car park a subtle tactility. The predominantly utilitarian character of the design is counterbalanced by the open expanded metal structure in combination with 14 generous planters on the street side and in the pedestrian access area to the courtyard. Green façades break through the steel monolith of the car park and, together with the green roof, ensure that nature is integrated into the development of the site.
The hot dip galvanisation of the main supporting structure, standard for all Huber Parking car parks, is perfectly complemented in this specific location by the galvanised façade elements and planter boxes. The high sustainability standards of the entire district are met right down to the galvanised façade. The combination of surface treatment and corrosion protection in a single coating is designed to use fewer resources and protect the environment.
Roof greening
The roof, as the fifth façade, contributes to the microclimate of the neighbourhood with its sedum greenery, not least due to its high ability to bind fine dust and buffer water.
"What I particularly liked about the project was that a lot of sustainability issues were taken into account. As the multi-storey car park was designed for a residential area, this is particularly valuable."
