Excerpt: Three-gable house Steinstrasse by Tchoban Voss Architekten is an architecture project featuring a facade development with three gables differentiated by colour. The street façade is divided vertically into three parts, with a rhythmic but uneven front. The facades, in ash grey, brown red, and sand beige, give the building a special aura, with tile covering the roofs, enhancing its contemporary interpretation of the traditional brick theme.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] In the context of the restoration of the small-scale façade development in the historic centre of Anklam, a residential and commercial building with three gables differentiated by colour was completed in May 2020. With its silhouette and characterful architecture, the building has a lasting impact on the cityscape of the Hanseatic city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
In reference to traditional plot sizes, the street façade is divided vertically into three parts. The rhythmic but uneven division of the front is emphasized by the slight protrusion of the middle facade gable and the differing ridge heights. In their contemporary interpretation of the traditional brick theme typical of the cityscape, the facades with their colour scheme of ash grey, brown red and sand beige lend the building a special aura. As a variation on the vertical window openings, a perforated brick pattern was designed as a decorative element in the stairwell area. The theme ends with the tile covering of the roofs.
The “three-gable house” in Steinstrasse has 15 apartments of different sizes as well as two commercial units on the ground floor. The apartments’ spacious terraces or balconies overlook a quiet, sunny garden. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide light and a contemporary feeling of living. Well-dimensioned bedrooms and optimally designed bathrooms make the apartments attractive for future tenants. The access to the building is barrier-free.
With independent access and large shop windows, the two commercial areas offer the typical mix of uses at this inner-city location.
