Nordheide, a new district for 5000 inhabitants, is taking shape.
The Dominikuszentrum, the district’s new spiritual centre, includes a
chapel, rectory, pre-school and Care Centre. Serving an urbanistic
function as well, the building aids orientation: from the rapid transit
exit a couple of hundred metres away, a path leading to it can be seen
cutting diagonally through the new neighbourhood. The brick surfaces
stand in stark contrast to the adjacent, colourfully rendered
dwellings, The sensual material, used for the ceilings, floors and
walls has a calm aura, and represents both time-tested building culture
and the primal building material earth.
