Construction progressing well at Schuckertsrasse housing project in Fürth, Germany

Bau des Wohnbauprojektes Schuckertsraße in Fürth schreitet voran


Work is progressing well on site at the Schuckertstrasse residential development in the German city of Fürth.

Construction of the apartment building has been under way since soon after Chapman Taylor received planning permission in May this year.

The difficult and time-consuming subsoil foundation work has largely been completed, with the piles bored and the basement skeleton put in place. The shell will now be able to grow rapidly above ground by the end of the year.

The building forms the backbone of a new residential quarter, which is being built on the site of a former commercial enterprise. The four-storey residential building hosts 6,800 m² of space for 66 one- to four-room apartments, which are tailored to the needs of families, young professionals and students.

The E-shaped footprint of the new building allows for the orientation of a large number of the apartments towards a new, generously landscaped inner courtyard. Some smaller apartments face east, with a view of the fields outside Fürth. Box windows and glazed loggias provide optimal sound insulation from passing trains of the adjacent railroad line.

The three parts of the building are distinguished from each other by varying the façade in different shades, while textile solar protection canopies create colourful accents.

Chapman Taylor was commissioned by BAYIKO (Bayerisches Immobilien Kontor GmbH) to plan the new building. Completion is planned for autumn 2022.

Nach Erhalt der Baugenehmigung Anfang Mai dieses Jahres wurde bereits Ende Mai mit dem Bau des Mehrfamilienhauses begonnen. Die schwierigen Gründungsarbeiten mit Bohrpfählen sowie der Rohbau des Kellergeschosses und damit die zeitaufwändige Arbeit im Baugrund sind bereits größtenteils abgeschlossen. So wird der Rohbau nun zügig oberirdisch wachsen können.

Das Gebäude bildet das Rückgrat eines neuen Wohnquartiers, das auf dem Grundstück eines ehemaligen Gewerbebetriebes errichtet wird. Das viergeschossige Wohngebäude bietet auf 6.800 m² Raum für 66 Ein- bis Vier-Zimmer-Appartements, die auf die Bedürfnisse von Familien, jungen Erwerbstätigen und Studenten zugeschnitten sind.

Der E-förmige Fußabdruck des Neubaus ermöglicht die Ausrichtung eines Großteils der Wohnungen auf einen neuen, großzügig begrünten Garten. Einige kleinere Wohnungen orientieren sich Richtung Osten mit Blick auf die Felder vor Fürth. Kastenfenster und verglaste Loggien sorgen hier für optimalen Schallschutz vor vorbeifahrenden Zügen der angrenzenden Bahnstrecke.
