KARL Cooperative Housing / Praeger Richter Architekten

Cooperative Housing Project - In 2019, the KARL cooperative was awarded the site on Friedrich-Karl-Strasse through a conceptual development procedure organized by the City of Bremen. The housing project is located within the new Hulsberg Quarter close to the historical buildings of the former Bremen-Mitte Clinic. The KARL housing cooperative, consisting of 50 people in their mid-30s to early 70s and 20 children and adolescents, has implemented its vision of "solidarity in building and living" and created a highly inclusive building. By acquiring the municipal property, the cooperative committed to a long-term solidarity-based use, as specified in the conceptual development procedure. At the same time, the project actively counteracts speculation in the housing sector and ensures affordable rents, as the apartments are used by the cooperative and thus removed from the market over the long term. The rents are examined annually by the residents and adjusted according to each household's family and income situation. The elongated, four-story volume with a recessed floor is structured by two entrance areas and features an access balcony facing the courtyard, which provides a link between the apartments and the communal areas.

Wümmehof Houses / Felix Brinkhege

The historic country house and gardens Wümmehof in Bremen used to for 50 years be the home to the grandson of the last German emperor and head of the house of Prussian kings after the family stepped down from the throne. Due to the latter as well as the fact that the main house was originally designed by the early Fritz Schumacher and landscaped by Friedrich Gildemeister (both prominent architectural figures of 1930’s Germany) the building and parts of its grounds were Grade A listed by the city. Additionally, its location in a flooding zone adjacent to the tidal river Wümme – which seasonally expands its size a hundredfold – made it particularly difficult to plan and execute the brief to transform the place into a communal living project of seven about equally large units.

Sparkasse Bremen / Delugan Meissl Associated Architects

Valeria Silva — Fri, 31 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000

DMAA’s design for the new headquarters of Sparkasse Bremen emerged from an invited competition for the development of a site, which is close to Bremen University – at the junction between Universitätsallee and the motorway access road – and offered few clues to designers regarding the shaping of the urban context and the building morphology. The seemingly reserved, standalone building volume defines the location through the inviting gesture of its transparent base, which opens to its surroundings on three sides in the form of full-height glazing.

Johann Jacobs House / Felgendreher Olfs Köchling Architekten

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 02:00:00 +0000

The new Johann Jacobs House enjoys an inevitable presence in the cityscape. Its position in the urban layout grants it a triple view of its surroundings: the volume is set back on all three sides towards the upper part, in relation to the different eaves of the neighboring historical buildings. Its urban specificity and autonomy are attributed to its plasticity and façade rhythm, subtly mimicking typical Hanseatic architectural elements such as the stepped gable wall.

Bremen Like many German cities, Bremen is confronted with an increasing housing shortage and a growing demand for affordable housing.

House Chapeau / Wirth Architekten

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 02:00:00 +0000

A young family wanted to create an open living space in their traditional Bremen row house, but the existing rooms were too small to accommodate both kitchen and living room. Solution? Adding a new story. The original building acquired a new “hat”. The extension gives a nod to the historic structure by nesting the roof angles to each other.
