The architects

Who realizes an entire quarter as a builder and project developer?

The Jost Hurler Group is a somewhat different real estate company that has steadily evolved since its founding in 1945. Keeping up with the times, the company's pillar of building portfolio management has been complemented by the second pillar of project development. With projects in the areas of retail and hotel real estate as well as sophisticated mixed-use real estate projects in public spaces, the group, with extensive experience in complex tasks, develops and operates individual real estate projects, creating appealing living spaces in an urban context.

 

In doing so, the Jost Hurler Group sets different priorities for the properties than many a classic investor. We want to develop sustainable and long-term values - for the Jost Hurler Group and its customers. Characteristic for projects of the group is a combination of awareness of tradition combined with a view to the future, curiosity and openness to new things. This is how unique new living concepts are created - like the Schwabinger Tor.

CREATING NEW TOGETHER

The following architectural firms were involved in the planning and realization of the Schwabinger Tor:

03 Architekten

THE OFFICE 03 ARCHITECTS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE urban design AS WELL AS THE DESIGN OF TWO SOLITARIES (M10, N20).

 

>> We represent a position of urban design that starts from the built, sensually perceivable space. In our works we use the narrative qualities of urban space and its architectures. The basis for the choreographic approach to the city is an understanding of urban planning that sees the planning of the city as part of the art of building and not primarily as structural planning. Thus, knowledge of typologies, of spatial concepts, and discourses on history and place are the primary tools of our work. <<

>> Planning the city as part of the art of building and not primarily as structural planning. <<

03 Architects worked with large-format, white, slightly corrugated precast concrete elements to structure the façade of both their buildings.
The design by 03 Architekten is based on the urban planning idea of an open urban development with solitaires, which is unusual for Munich.

MAX DUDLER

MAX DUDLER ERECTED ONE HIGH-RISE BUILDING EACH (N10, S10) IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH AND TWO ADDITIONAL SIX-STORY BUILDINGS (S20, S30) IN THE SOUTH OF THE SITE.

>> Above all, I think it depends on the residents! Our task is to create architecture that people can adopt. After all, building is first and foremost for living. (...) Architecture is nothing other than quality of life. Our thoughts and actions are based on this realization. <<

The facade of the northern high-rise building was clad with light-colored limestone, whose slanted reveals hide the window profiles and thus shape the special appearance of the building. A playful abstract character is created.
Sculptural and strictly gridded, the facade of one of the 6-story buildings plays with the themes of horizontality and verticality.

Hild und K Architectur

THE MUNICH OFFICE HILD AND K DEVELOPED A BUILDING (S40) IN THE SOUTH OF THE AREA.

>> For us, architecture does not come off the peg. Our concepts are developed in an intensive and unreserved dialog with the client. In the confrontation with the respective task, we develop idiosyncratic solutions that answer the respective architectural question sensitively and intelligently.(...) In this way, buildings of a very unique character are created, reflecting the creativity, openness and architectural seriousness that characterize our office. <<

Hild und K Architektur

>> Building of its own character, mirror of creativity, openness and architectural seriousness. <<

Deliberately used as decor, brick patterns are presented in front of concrete elements, artificial joints dissolve the real window and floor grid.
Hild and K's façade seemingly breaks the boundaries of construction and material.

Hilmer Sattler Architects Ahlers Albrecht

Hilmer Sattler Architekten Ahlers Albrecht SHOVE THE FACE OF THE FIVE STARS HOTEL (Building M20) AND A SLIGHT RAIL SIDE OF IT (Building M30).

»We want to express that we do not indulge in the hope, cherished especially in modernism, of being able to invent something truly new, but that instead we consciously orient ourselves to the recurring basic forms of architecture and urban planning. We have neither the ambition nor the goal to design the completely different house, the completely different city, but to develop the house and the city as best as possible out of their respective context, literally building on the experience of the past.«

The special perforated window facade made of light natural stone illustrates the individuality of the hotel.

The large windows of the hotel rooms allow wide views over Munich.

ver.de Landscape architects

The open space design of the Schwabinger Tor was penned by VER.D. It ties in with the myth of the legendary artists' quarter.

»We developed the fabric of alleys and squares as a finely woven stone carpet. As a connecting element, it links the buildings, which bear the signature of very different architectural firms. Like precious ornaments, plazas, gardens and playgrounds lie in this carpet - inspired by works of art by painters of the Blaue Reiter and Art Nouveau.«

The green space interacts with the architecture and the adjacent biotope.
Space for the little ones. Three playgrounds bring life to the neighborhood.
In the design of the open spaces, quotes from famous works of art from the time of the Blue Rider can be found.

Concrete

The design team of CONCRETE from Amsterdam was responsible for the implementation of the interior design of the luxury lifestyle hotel Andaz Munich Schwabinger Tor.

»We don't take shortcuts on materials or ambition. Rather, we build spaces that serve people. Interiors that encourage interaction, that are useful, enjoyable, unique, sustainable and purposeful. In other words, spaces designed for people - not water coolers.«

Felix Fischer Architects

FELIX FISCHER ARCHITEKTEN office designed the Schwabinger Tor streetcar stop - 2 roofs as a shell structure, which form an arc with "imaginary" optical connection.

»We understand architecture as a synthesis of function, construction and interpretation. We are concerned with finding the balance between concept and context; form finding and form giving; function and statement. Our claim is that our projects make a statement about the place where they are located, the program for which they are created, the construction that supports them and the materials from which they are created.«

The design is at the same time light-footed ...
... and solid. Heavy steel meets a translucent membrane.
