The building complex, with a gross floor area of approximately 81,000 m², marks the start of Heidelberg's Bahnstadt district. Clearly structured, orderly U-shaped structures, arranged in pairs and slightly offset, accommodate a mix of residential, office, and retail uses. A significant highlight is the 10-story office tower with an inviting neighborhood square to the east. The green east-west axis, which connects the inner courtyards and the neighboring neighborhoods, leads here as the entrance to the neighborhood. The varied and well-designed interior areas create a high quality of life – as do the differentiated ground floor zones. A characteristic feature is the high-quality greenery in this quiet area, which serves as a place of relaxation for all users. The greenery continues on the roofs of the commercial spaces on the first floor, where sheltered gardens are being created for the residents.
To the north, the building ensemble forms a clear urban edge to the railway tracks. The office buildings located there thus protect the residential buildings and inner courtyards in the southwest of the site from the noise emissions of rail traffic. The number of stories and building edges of the 6- to 7-story new buildings are based on the neighboring buildings to the west.
