On an inner-city wasteland, the site of the first electricity plant in Rüsselsheim, 50 new flats were built. All types of flats, from small flats for individuals and students to barrier-free flats, family flats as well as shared flats are distributed throughout the complex.

Rüsselsheim is one of the former industrial cities of Germany, well known for its Opel headquarter. The inspiration for the roof of the sports hall came from a factory building nearby. One of the advantages of Shed roofs is that natural incidence of light, coming from the north, will not produce any drop shadow, nor dazzling the people inside. Another positive effect of the north orientation of the building is that unnecessary heat indoors can be minimized; The direct solar radiation is relatively low.
