Berufsbildungszentrum | Münnerstadt
On the home straight!
After a successful competition in the small town of Münnerstadt, GTL is now involved in the planning and support of the new vocational training center's outdoor facilities of almost 14,000 m2. The school campus is divided into various sections such as a reading area or a courtyard. There is also an all-weather sports field with an adjacent step system made of concrete blocks and steps for access and stay. The planned completion of the project is expected for the new school year in September 2020. Photo: © GTL

Forecourt of the Federal Social Court in Kassel
Completion
As part of our project 'Vorplatz Bundessozialgericht Kassel', the entrance area of the Bundessozialgericht was redesigned. With the construction of the extension, it became necessary to redesign the entrance, as the length of the main access path and thus the height situation changed at this point. A coherent overall picture of the entrance situation was created by a uniform design of the pavement. The water and nutrient supply of an existing tree on the forecourt was optimised with the help of a larger tree disc and soil improvement measures.

Heilbronn police headquarters
Completion
As part of the expansion of the police headquarters in Heilbronn, the outdoor facilities and the access road, including the car parks, were redesigned. The site is also home to the ‘Heilbronn Capital’ artwork by documenta artist Prof Thomas Lenk, which has now been reconstructed in a different location. The two associated water basins now shine in a bright orange colour and have also been repositioned to allow access by the fire brigade for both the police headquarters and the neighbouring tax office. A central green space echoes the artist's concept and the paved areas are blended with the open spaces so that the proportion of sealed surfaces is kept to a minimum.
The project was developed in collaboration with the architects from Atelier30.

Wunstorf paediatric and adolescent psychiatric ward
Completion
When designing the outdoor areas of the paediatric and adolescent psychiatric ward in Wunstorf, the focus is on the well-being of the young patients. The play and recreation area was equipped with a colourful plastic surface with organic patterns that invite children to play. Circumferential concrete benches offer space to relax and also serve as a ball game area.
The valley in the east of the site has a special recreational and play value. Stairs and a gently modelled slope provide accessibility here. The valley is also home to the central play area and a retaining wall equipped with climbing holds.
The forecourt, which connects the new building with the villa, was given new seating elements and bicycle racks. Thanks to its geometry, it allows access for the fire brigade and delivery traffic and has three car parking spaces for the disabled.

Museum Reinhard-Ernst Wiesbaden
Completion
The outdoor areas of the Museum of Abstract Art are designed to a high standard. There are perennials, grasses and flat shrubs framed in natural stone bands and natural stone slabs along the street. The entrance area can be reached via a flight of steps and a ramp suitable for the disabled, and its roofing makes it an inviting and spacious place. The restaurant terrace is adjacent. Inside, visitors are welcomed by an inner courtyard that looks like a work of art in its own right. White gravel contrasts with bands of black natural stone. A flat monolith and an ornamental tree form the centrepiece. The roof areas of the museum are partly designed as extensive green roofs.

Monastery Fountain Frankenberg
Completion
This month, the fountain in the monastery garden in Frankenberg (Eder) was put into operation. The fountain basin with water feature forms the central element in the newly designed monastery garden. Aqua Activ carried out the installation. Clad in red sandstone to match the monastery walls, the fountain has a bubbler, fogger and lighting. Surrounded by lush flowering perennials and educational and display beds, the monastery garden offers a harmonious atmosphere, not least due to the acoustics of the fountain. The flowerbed structures are connected by main and side paths that invite visitors to stroll, while several benches invite them to linger in peace.
