The meandering shape of the new building on Marienplatz creates spacious open courtyards and allows for high density and compactness.
The eastern end on Heidelberger Straße is dominated by a striking high-rise building, while the western end on Donnersbergring is formed by a new daycare centre. Both ends are connected by a six-storey residential building.
The daycare centre building has two storeys and is constructed entirely of wood. The open spaces of the daycare centre are located on the south side and on the roof, which is equipped with shade-providing vegetation, partial roofing and additional play areas.
