Object+Product: Community Centre in Heidelberg

A new community centre was to be built for the Emmaus parish in Heidelberg-Pfaffengrund, directly adjacent to the small Church of the Resurrection. From a competition with five participants, the design by netzwerkarchitekten was selected as the winner and completed after approximately two years of construction. Within the listed historical grounds, the new building creates a new urban edge to the church forecourt, thereby also strengthening the access to the entire complex. The central design element is the striking ceiling structure made of laminated timber.

The community hall is clear and flooded with light. This is thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and light-coloured finishing materials. © Jörg Hempel
