The Pontsteiger Detail 3

The Pontsteiger is based on a hourglass shape that lands like a half-open building block. Placing the block on 7-meter-high pylons, the view of the water is preserved and the courtyard is freely accessible. There is also a landing place for the ferry, a harbour and a café on the corner. This project shows that you can also enhance the living environment. For example, the wooden ceilings with which the balconies are finished. These wooden ceilings give the building a warm atmosphere, while referring to the locations history of timber docks while dampening the sound from the ports. Or the rolling shape of the entrance pavilions, which helps to limit wind nuisance in the courtyard.
