Leben am Tivoli, Bauteil 4

The new construction on the 70.000 m² of land close to the old Tivoli Stadium has become one of the largest developments in the capital city of Tyrol. The five and seven storey residential blocks contain 163 apartments.

The apartments all have gardens, balconies or loggia on their south and west extremities. It was the intention that these open areas provide the apartments with an element of intimacy but still have the feeling of being close to outside. The interaction of the transparent SERALIT LITEX Design 562 screen-printed balustrades of differing lengths, anthracite grey plant pots and storey-spanning stainless steel cables gives a diversified translucent layer.

Point-fixed external fins with orange STADIP COLOR laminated glass decorate the city block on its North and West elevations and are also used to provide privacy to the loggia on the South elevation. They give some geometry to the facade and create playful light expressions with changing sun angles. (German source: DI Peter Fakler, Architekturhalle)
