Nickl & Partner Architekten AG

Nickl & Partner has won the award of contract for the construction of the new Longgang District Nursing Home. The new geriatric care centre will be built in the Longgang District east of Shenzhen. Nickl & Partner Architekten has won the international competition with an innovative concept of multidimensional “care for the elderly”. Part of the concept is the “three-dimensional community”. The staggered arrangement of tesseract units creates the impression of a city growing with the light. The open spaces gained thereby are used for vital greening and contribute to the lively overall atmosphere. The generous green spaces also fulfil the residents’ traditional national longing for the ideal of life in old age and the bond with nature. Further reading

We are delighted to have won the contract for this new construction project in Burkina Faso.
The future new building in the West African city of Ouagadougou will comprise a public chancellery, a centrally located reception area, a residence divided into a private and an official part as well as a guardhouse in front of it facing the street.
The building is divided into three separate structures that are connected by a generous cantilevered roof element. The different dimensions of the individual structures create a hierarchy: the most public area, the chancellery, has the largest volume, while the residence as the most private area is the smallest structure.
The roof element connects the three building volumes to a single unit and provides shade between the buildings, creating quality forecourts and cool lounging areas outside. The green area surrounding the new embassy building will be transformed into a garden area with biotopes and private gardens.

A new ward building for general psychiatry and psychotherapy in Cologne on the grounds of the LVR Clinic. Our design developed from the idea of creating a psychiatric facility of the highest quality consisting of only two prefabricated modular timber units, which implements the principles of Healing Architecture - in line with our philosophy for healthcare buildings.
The building structure picks up on various urban axes and alignments, creating various public and private outdoor spaces that offer the future residents and staff ideal recreational qualities. The internal structure is defined by a clear, linear orientation, light-flooded rooms and corridors, which are loosened up by the arrangement of various lounges along the façade.
