Reshaping Urban Fabric: MB110 | Bierbrunnen by Lechner & Lechner Architects

From lechner & lechner architects

The MB110 | Bierbrunnen project is an architectural intervention that transforms a once dreary commercial zone along the Munich Bundesstraße in Liefering into a bustling urban center. Situated at a significant transportation hub, known as the "Lieferinger Spitz," the L-shaped building has been harmoniously designed to structure the space. Terraced floors and strategically placed volumes provide residents with protection from noise and environmental influences while imparting character to the building.

Our architectural aim was to reduce parking requirements by decoupling parking spaces from rental agreements. This enables efficient use of available space and a substantial densification from 6 to 47 units with the same footprint. Additionally, we advocate for eco-friendly mobility concepts, such as promoting cycling networks and offering car and cargo bike-sharing services, to create a vibrant urban space that enhances quality of life.

The challenge lay in achieving high density without compromising quality of life. Despite densification, it was crucial to create more green spaces than previously existed. Attractive additions such as a rooftop playground and a public square with a fountain in front of the building added an extra dimension to the project.

The successful realization was only possible through close collaboration among all project stakeholders. Particularly fruitful was the collaboration with the developers, who facilitated unconventional architecture in sustainability and mixed-use. Equally commendable was the constructive collaboration with the Salzburg Design Department, whose feedback provided the final touch to the project.

The project offers significant added value to various interest groups. The neighborhood benefits from reduced heat islands and improved noise protection, while the city gains from the creation of new bike paths and increased urban attractiveness. The environment benefits from reduced traffic and densification, countering further sealing.

The project distinguishes itself through innovative solutions, creating more green spaces and public areas despite densification. It impressively demonstrates that densification not only counters land sealing but also enhances the livability of urban spaces. It shows that architectural innovations are possible even on seemingly undevelopable plots, improving both residential comfort and quality of life for residents.
