Easycredit-Haus, Nuremberg

In the urban context between the Grundig Towers (Metropol-Hotel) in the northeast, the Zeppelin Tribune of the former Reich Party Rally Grounds in the northwest, and the small-scale allotment gardens in the southwest, a simple, open building is emerging, defining a clear spatial edge.

The long, six-story building runs parallel to the railway tracks and Beuthener Straße, forming an urban counterpoint to the point-like development of the Grundig Towers in the northeast.

The building serves as the backbone for the protected green areas along Beuthener Straße, which form a public space through their modeling, which can serve as a “stage” for recurring events. In the heterogeneous urban tension field, an ensemble is thus formed that defines the new open space of the bank without establishing hierarchies.
