The urban planning concept aims to develop a discernible rhythm with building and space. The architectural language seeks first and foremost affinities. Compatibility is achieved in dimension, material and colour, volumetric differentiation, with gallery structures, projections and recesses, and the play of light and shadow that these create. The emerging atmospheres are therefore strong in expression and utility.
The design of the external space is largely oriented towards the existing buildings and is intended to blend in naturally with the green areas of Rosenstraße. The plants and pathways around the church have been retained and enhanced with suitable additions.
