Façade Award 2021 - Award ceremony no. 2

Continuation of the awards ceremony for the Jena FaçadePrize2021

As announced, this year's prizes will be presented at the properties over several days this week instead of at a central event.

Second award presented

GB 23 Verwaltungsgesellschaft bR represented by Mr. Müller and Mr. Thomas received an appreciation forthe new construction of the residential / office buildings Am Alten Güterbahnhof 3 and 5 (planning: Dipl.-Ing. Architect Stephan Sittig, Jena; outdoor facilities: Boock Landschaftsarchitektur) . On behalf of the sponsors, Ms. Margul (IBA GmbH), Mr. Fischer (IBA GmbH), Mr. Kühn (HI-Bauprojekt) , Mr. Rabich (Sparkasse Jena Saale Holzland) and Mr. Neumann (Head of Urban Planning) presentedthe certificate and the award plaque together with a floral greeting .

Among other things, the jury emphasizedthe high-quality, outstanding craftsmanship of the clinker brick façade with subtle details in the entrance areas and the structuring loggias , which were convincingin their clarity . The exterior design builds on the diverse clinker brick façades that also exist in Jena and develops them further in a modern form. The chosen form of the façade also represents a comprehensible reminiscence of the classic station architecture, which is supported by the harmonious design of the outdoor facilities. The project is a successful example of the revitalization of a derelict railroad site. The jury welcomes the creation of a cost-intensive but more durable and sustainable outer skin, which should be an incentive for other projects in the city. The coherent competition entry represents a self-evident urban building block that creates a striking new address for the previously rear-facing areas.
