Germany – Engineering services – Los 2 TWP für Wohnquartier Pölzer Straße in Mainleus

The municipality of Mainleus intends to create an attractive rental housing offer on a communal plot in a central location in Mainleus. Four multi-family buildings from the 1950s stand on the plot, which do not meet today's housing requirements in terms of either the housing equipment or the energy status. The open spaces around the buildings are not landscaped. The existing buildings are to be energetically upgraded for future use and the structural standards are to be enhanced. The "modesty" of the housing complex, which can be read, is to be used in a positive sense and is to set an example of new standards for housing construction. The aim of the competition is to transform the site into an attractive residential quarter with modern equipment and well-utilizable outdoor facilities. For this purpose, the entire housing complex is to be redesigned and, if necessary, supplemented structurally. The planning scope under the project classification "Building Type E" is to be creatively tested and exploited in the interest of an economical and innovative solution. This additional offer within the Bavarian Building Code allows builders and planners, from the point of view of the Bavarian Chamber of Architects, to reduce projects to the actual core of the protection objectives of the Bavarian Building Code (structural stability, fire protection, healthy living conditions and environmental protection) and to dispense with additional regulations and standards. Given the scope for communal financing and the rental burden on future tenants, all measures must be realizable within the available budget. In the case of a renovation of all living areas in the competition area (1,644 m²), a cost budget of 6,576,000 € (gross) including the open spaces of the site is calculated. In 2025, a realization competition was carried out for the building planning and the open space planning, in the result of which the architects lauer+lebok, Lichtenfels, were commissioned with the planning. Now, the engineering services are to be commissioned with this procedure.
