From quarry to quality living

Steinbruchsfeld in the Misburg district of Hanover has undergone a comprehensive transformation since the 1990s. This new ensemble of residential and commercial buildings, aptly named “Living in the Steinbruchsfeld” underlines Hanover’s commitment to modern, sustainable urban development.

Clay on clay

The main focus of the architects, KIEFER|SANDER ARCHITEKTEN, was on the durability, low maintenance and energy efficiency of the building envelope. That is why they opted to choose a “clay on clay” construction method: Poroton clay blocks and Terca brick slips as a monolithic structure.
 
The key element here is the exterior wall structure which consists of a 49 cm thick clay block with mineral wool infill, combined with slim brick slips.

Community at heart

This thoughtfully designed development offers 61 modern and family-friendly rental flats across 5,200 m2, housed in three- to four-storey buildings. Residents can benefit from a well-balanced blend of private and communal spaces, with green areas and play zones providing opportunities for recreation in the residential parts.
 
The inclusion of 2,300 m2 of commercial space with doctors’ surgeries, retail outlets, and restaurants ensures convenience right at their doorstep. A carefully designed neighbourhood square in the commercial part of the structure serves as a vibrant social hub, encouraging interaction among the residents while making all their daily chores easily accessible.
 
The layout of the buildings creates an open yet sheltered atmosphere, offering both privacy and connection in a harmonious living environment.
 

All in ONE

 

Specially designed for energy-efficient multi-storey residential construction, the Poroton clay block that was mainly used offers excellent structural and sound insulation properties in addition to high thermal insulation.
 
However, the development of wall construction on this project was taken to the next level. Since 2023, a complete system has been available as ‘wienerberger ONE’ where five elements combine to form an innovative monolithic wall system. Thanks to its simple structure, the complete system stands for fast and efficient construction site build speed, providing an excellent complete solution that impresses with its quickness and efficiency as well as product quality and safety.
 
The variety of façade designs also ensures sustainable and aesthetic architecture without compromises. By combining the Poroton wall solutions with the orange-brown Terca brick slips, KIEFER|SANDER ARCHITEKTEN have realised an exterior wall construction that is both minimalist and efficient.
