Diakonie Campus

Düsseldorf

Competition for realisation 2004


The interaction of four different buildings invests the Diakonie campus with a new order and quality.

With its plain cubic U-shape, the old people’s-cum-nursing home completes the existing street space in Gerresheimerstraße and An der Icklack with its common utilisation areas opening onto the interior space of the Campus.

The ensemble with church, housing for the disabled and the office-building in Langer Straße 2, is set back from the street at a strategic point to form a public place and lead into the interior area of the Campus. The historical brick building is located in the middle of the park, enlarged by a glass extension. On the south side, the interior area is defined by a building housing a nursery on the ground floor level and accommodation for the elderly on the upper levels.
