Therme Bad Aibling: German spa architecture design by Behnisch Architects, Germany – German spa building at Lindenstraße 32, architectural photos by Adam Mørk.
The location is on the edge of the planned 650 apartments which was finished a year ago. Also this apartment block is social type and was sold to Slovenian Housing fund. The cost per square meter had to be 650 EUR/m2 since the selling cost was 1300EUR/m2.
The new project proposed use of the shopping roof for additional volume-as new apartments. The wooden mass is located centrally in the village of Bohinjska Bistrica in the alpine area of Lake Bohinj.
The building has L shape that is opened towards these views and encloses a protected 300 year old tree. Apartments are social – they were sold to Slovenian Housing Fund for young families at price 900 EUR/m2.
The project is a winning entry for two housing blocks in a competition convoked by the Slovenia Housing Fund, a government-run programme that is providing low-cost apartments for young families.
The project won an invitation competition for developing four apartment blocks from 125 to 140 metres in length. The client chose our proposal for economic reasons: we managed to provide more saleable surface on the predefined urban set-up and a lower floor space index than all the other proposals.
