Bad Karlshafen
Update
The reconstruction of the harbor area in the historic planned town of Bad Karlshafen is slowly coming to an end. The part in front of the town hall is already finished and invites to stay. With regard to the surfaces, the Weser sandstone in small paving format from the existing structure was reused and gives the place its original character back. This is supplemented by a hydraulically bound surface layer under the groups of trees made of solitary lime trees and by large-format natural stone slabs made of Weser sandstone facing the water. Furthermore, elements such as bicycle racks and benches have been provided at various points along the harbor.

Tree planting Königsstraße Kassel
Update
"Kaiser linden trees on Friedrichsplatz celebrate one-year anniversary."
The renovation of Königsstraße was completed by GTL in 2020. The Kaiser lime trees planted at that time (31 pcs.) have been standing on Friedrichsplatz for one year at the present time, thus giving the place a special character.
The planting of the trees was complex and only the caps of the integrated ventilation systems in the pavement give an indication of the planting pit below and the extensive substructure. In addition to the aeration, the system uses a steel structure to ensure that the root zone of the trees is not compacted in the heavily used square, thus providing the trees with the best possible conditions in the extreme location of the town square. In addition, the trees are automatically supplied with water via a root ball as well as deep irrigation system. By optimizing the location and supplying the trees underground, the unrestricted use of Friedrichsplatz continues to be given space.

Shenzen Hongkong Innovation and Technology Center / Shenfang Park and Zhaolian Headquaters| Shenzen China
Update
Since 2018 (Zhaolian) and 2019 (Shenfang Park) these two projects are in planning in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. GTL is responsible for the service phases 2,3 and 5 for the open spaces of these international projects. The buildings were designed by the architectural firm schneider+schumacher, which has offices in Frankfurt, Vienna, Tianjin and Shenzhen.
The holistic design approach of Shenfang Park represents a new generation of a research building. Located directly on the river, the building complex rises gradually. Roof terraces on each level are a distinctive feature.
The 180-meter-high Zhaolian office tower has a clear facade on the outside. Dynamics and communication are the central elements of the interior design. © GTL
