In close proximity to the Burda Media Park in Offenburg, a car park has been realized, whose light and delicate form harmonizes with the surroundings on a scale. The circular car park has a diameter of 60 meters. In the central zone, there are pedestrian access points as well as two interwoven spiral ramps that can be driven independently, with the full floor height overcome by a 180° rotation.
Like a veil, the semi-transparent cable façade drapes over the building. The façade consists of prefabricated cable elements hanging in round timbers prepared by system holders. The round timbers are made of Oregon Pine, which will gradually take on a silver-gray hue over time due to natural weathering. The pergola above the top parking deck was constructed analogously to the façade. The attention and acceptance this building receives is as well due to the fact that it functions as a public space: open, light, beautiful, inviting.
