The task: A striking building with an introverted character<\/h2>\n

The community of Seebach, south-east of the Wartburg city of Eisenach, wanted to create a leisure facility for children and young people in the region. A youth centre where they can meet and do sports together, work creatively, cook and bake or simply spend time together. Open to all – and yet for themselves.<\/p>\n

The location was already perfect: a little outside of town in the middle of green meadows with plenty of space for activities that can sometimes get noisy.<\/p>\n

But what does an architecture look like that is supposed to be a signal and at the same time wants to offer a protected space?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_column_text]\n

The solution: A red cube with a foldable fa\u00e7ade thanks to sliding-folding shutters<\/h2>\n

The team of architects Lehmann und Partner decided to deliberately emphasise the contrasts and placed a straight-lined cube clad in signal red in the middle of the green surroundings.<\/p>\n

The self-confident building arouses curiosity and clearly shows: Here I am – something is happening here. It was more difficult to balance the relationship between openness and retreat.<\/p>\n

Instead of combining open and private and thus having to accept compromises, the planners opted for an either-or: all openings – including the entrance – can be closed by folding sliding shutters, which, like the fa\u00e7ade, are clad in red fibre cement panels.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1″][vc_single_image image=”3235″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”5\/12″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0″][vc_single_image image=”3229″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1″][vc_column_text]\n

Folding sliding shutters for self-determined openness<\/h2>\n

The entrance area is particularly impressive. A two-part folding sliding system at the fa\u00e7ade level closes off a small inner courtyard, to which the interior spaces open up with a glass fa\u00e7ade. When the folding shutters are closed, one can only guess that something is moving here. When open, an inviting entrance situation is created.<\/p>\n

The architects made no compromises in the planning and implementation either. With Baier, they brought an expert for sliding shutters to their side. The experienced metal construction company planned and constructed the perfect folding sliding system for the unusual entrance design.<\/p>\n
