The Baufeld 10 Window Design
An impressive apartment building design which called the Baufeld 10 is done designed by the LOVE Architecture and Urbanism. This building is located in Hamburg, Germany. A new district which is covering for about 157 hectares is being developed directly with the HafenCity Hamburg. The relevant urban development concept is calls for the high quality architecture design, in addition to the mixed utilization. For this reason, there is a separate tendering process for each individual building site. This building site is precisely located in an area with the Dallmannkai, it is directly on the water and in direct proximity to the “Elbphilharmonie”, a concert hall which is currently being developed by the Swiss Office of Herzog & de Meuron. For this architecture design, the LOVE architecture and urbanism from Graz win the competition for the “Baufeld 10” and in total for about 26 architectural offices are awarded project at the Kaiserkai.
During the development, the architect is being faced by a challenge: The Baufeld 10 project is developed in a joint building venture. This means which the various future residents is worked together to create a real community for the new building. Within this model, the individualist is connected with each other with the goal of the building THEIR communal house. The building typology has to meet this expectation, this is why the building is houses many different building typologies with all kinds of the furnishing standards: from very large apartments (up to approx. 225m²) to smaller units (approx. 50m²), which the feature is entirely different designs – from one-storey apartments to maisonettes which stretch across the four stores. The individualization is the top priority for Baufeld 10. Within his or her apartment, each of the 28 new residents can now enjoy the unique style, whether horizontal or vertical, whether in a small or a big apartment. These different visions are blended into one building; it is for everyone’s satisfaction. The residential building is presents a gleaming white structure which is formed of the slightly beveled cubes and with generously proportioned, slightly beveled window openings; it is by viewed from the outside. The configuration of these window openings matches the layout of the apartments behind them. Each apartment has a balcony and/or bay which protrude from the building. Within the rigid row of buildings, this configuration provides maximum views in an “exciting direction” – namely, the harbor.
Structural design and facade
With the stiffening apartment partitions and the storey ceilings and it is calculated as a special static system, the support system is consists of a supporting building is enveloped. As a result, this made it possible to place the quite large window which is openings freely in the exterior walls of the building and to minimize the concrete and the steel volume which is used, and which also it is reduces the construction cost.
More of the structurally demanding parts of the building, such as the rounding are of the facade, the balconies and the bays, are executed as a prefabricated elements. A ‘natural stone plaster’ surface is provided by the facade, which is serves as an outside composite thermal insulation system. Which can cause the facade to sparkle slightly in the sun, a valuable visual effect, this composed of the natural stone are grains with an admixture of the mica. The window rounding and the beveled window reveals were modeled into the composite thermal insulation system with thermal insulation mounding.
Energy savings and climate protection
The Municipal Development Company is already emphasized an energy savings and the climate protection with a series of the sustainable ecological measures for the emerging new buildings, it is from the planning stages of the new district. The apartment building is planned and built according to the latest Energy Conservation Regulations (EnEV) regarding the building’s technical characteristics. Which is provides the excellent air sealing; the building is features a very light construction mass and a building shell. One definite the cornerstone of the building’s energy concept is its connections to the local heat and the power plant, it is combines the production of the heat and the power. Outfitting the apartment building with a solar thermal system of ten vacuum-tube collectors for the central domestic water supply is an additional energy efficiency measure.
The solar thermal energy system and the heating connection to the local energy provider
combine to cover the heating requirement of about 30 kwh/(m²a).
