Offen Haus
Through the development of the arrival city of Offenbach, the southern area of the city has been left neglected. The community needs to be reconnected; the solution is to create a space to combine the disparate communities, both indoor and outdoor. On site it was important to create a building that would be welcoming: a timber frame was selected to engage the park as well as act as a vertical garden. Rammed earth was utilised to harness a series of safe interior environments to deal with the joining of many communities.
