A former beer garden named “Kulturbrauerei” (cultural brewery) on the premises of the shutdown Lederer brewery is given a renaissance as an identity-forming park that provides the starting point for the urban redevelopment of the area in North-Western Nuremberg. Around the well-established outdoor space, a seminal quarter is unfolding, comprised of three parts like a triptych by Dürer: Agnes, Albrecht, and the widely popular park with its old trees.

The design of the neighborhood park is deliberately reduced: Individually placed new elements invite lingering, exercise, and play. The quality of the outdoor space is safeguarded by a prudent urban design concept; necessary construction measures are distributed between the Agnes and Albrecht development areas, which are carefully integrated into the existing structure as consistently traffic-free areas. Inspired by its namesake—the art dealer Agnes Dürer—the rationally articulated Agnes block buildings place the focus on business and commercial use. The two eight-story houses follow a repetitive and hence economical typology with mostly through apartments. Situated on the plinth roof is a neighborhood garden sheltered from outside influences by the perimeter block structure. The necessary parking spaces and other smaller areas for combined living and working further
accentuate Agnes’s propensity for trade and business. The Albrecht ensemble of buildings manifests the, literally, stepwise change for new times: Three eight-story building structures connected at its base are grouped around a semipublic courtyard, with their mineral plinths robustly connecting them to the public space. A contemporary residential project, Albrecht is designed as a frame construction with non-loadbearing exterior walls. Lightweight construction partition walls between apartments and rooms keep the building flexible to adapt to changing uses. The facades look onto the central outdoor spaces are all greened, the apartments have generous green rooms. Photovoltaic panels are installed on all roofs, on the two communally accessible terraces they are propped up on pillars to create shady pergolas.
With a motley range of apartment types and sizes, characterful circulation areas, differentiated sociocultural and commercial facilities, and a neighborhood park within easy walking distance, Agnes and Albrecht unfold a well-composed picture of close-to-nature urban living of the future.
