The housing estate at Bremer Straße in Hamburg-Harburg shall be expanded with a characteristic ensemble of modern residential buildings and at the same time upgrade the entance area of the Harburg city. The result of the survey report is settled and Gerber Architects are pleased about the award in this split competition. The design proposes to expand the estate by three new modules with unified form and materiality, which adapt exact and coherent to the existing protected building ensembles form the 1920’s. The homogeneous roof landscape with roofs with differing slopes conveys between the varying numbers of storeys of the existing buildings and suggests the viewer a series of many individual town houses.

After only eight months building time the extension of the St. Barbara Hospital in Gladbeck will open today. To increase the bed capacity, a new three storey cross building now connects the north with the south wing of the existing building and provides short connections and optimal availability for all rooms. Apart from a disciplinary admission unit, 72 new inpatient beds are created as well as a new neurological unit and internal medicine. With this extension the builder Katholischen Kliniken Emscher Lippe GmbH together with the company group St. Augustinus Gelsenkirchen GmbH meet their mutual goal to offer an excellent clinical care in Gelsenkirchen, Gladbeck and Bottrop. Thanks to the completey prefabricated modules including preinstalled bathrooms the building time was enormously shortened and a high quality standard was achieved. Moving in the new building in the St. Barbara Hospital can take place as planned.
