Hinseler Feld

The residential project at Hinseler Feld in Essen, developed on the site of a former church, emerged as the winning design from a competition organized by the Diocese of Essen. It combines timeless elegance and functional architecture in two modern, compact buildings. The four-story buildings are characterized by their clean, light-colored plastered facades, which are divided by horizontal bands. The ground floor is accented with matching clinker brick slips. The rounded corners of the buildings further emphasize the harmonious architectural style.

The staggered arrangement of the buildings on the property creates an inviting open space at Hinseler Feld. At the rear of the buildings, alongside the ground-level parking spaces, there are attractively landscaped, peaceful gardens that invite visitors to linger. The extensively landscaped roof areas, as well as the photovoltaic system planned for the main roof, reflect the building’s outstanding sustainability, which is being constructed to the “Climate-Friendly New Construction / Efficiency House EH 40” standard.

The building comprises a total of 92 age-appropriate and barrier-free residential units. Here, comfort and quality of life come together. In addition, a communal and recreational area available to the building’s residents is being created on the ground floor. A service provider will offer a diverse range of programs and services for the residents there. A café, an outpatient care service, and a physical therapy/rehab practice are planned for the other ground-floor commercial spaces.
