The new building on the corner of the Theresienstrasse/Palaisplatz is intended to adequately complete the baroque district of Dresden’s inner “Neustadt” and thereby transform the historical baroque typologies into a high-quality appearance. Using baroque design elements, the new buildings were anchored in the urban context as if they had always been there. However, the size of the facade openings and divisions, and a subtle choice of materials allow the existing building to merge with the current spirit of the times.
The closing of the gap, created by the two solitary buildings and the extension on the Palaisplatz, was considered as one unit. Based on a colour scheme that was inspired by the Baroque period and the nature of the nearby park, the three buildings are differentiated in their colours, while still creating one unit of the new quarter.
