Volksbank Site Freiburg

Volksbank-Areal is a landmark that endows Freiburg with an enhanced identity. Centrally located directly across from the main railway station in Freiburg, the complex is gateway to the city and calling card in one. A sensitive interpretation of the city’s identity with its wealth of tradition and the world-famous Black Forest marked the starting point for the drafting process. Hadi Teherani Architects has articulated the building complex with its 43,000 square metres of gross floor area into multiple structures that refer back to the planned urban development context and are grouped around an inner courtyard. Headquartered in Hamburg, the acclaimed architectural bureau took over the designing of the interiors for the bank branch and an executive board area itself along with the interior for the hotel. The authoritative capabilities of the Hadi Teherani Group in architecture, interiors and product design were able to be clustered for this complex task. As a result, a coherent overall concept arose that extends from the outer shell to the furnishings inside – a genuine made-to-measure suit for the entire building.
