Living directly on the Hofgarten park is a rare privilege, even in Düsseldorf, a city renowned for its many beautiful neighborhoods. When the former Vögeler Bank was demolished, it left a noticeable gap in the block’s edge. In 2014, we filled this void with an elegant, high-quality six-story residential building. This new structure includes two basement levels that serve as underground parking and private cellars. The south-facing facade, overlooking the courtyard garden, features light-colored natural stone arranged in an axially symmetrical design. Slender, floor-to-ceiling windows flank a bay window in pairs, a classic element of distinguished facade design that also increases the living space for the apartments on the 1st to 4th floors. The result is a highly focused building with a consistent rhythm that blends harmoniously with the surrounding neighborhood.
