The three buildings will be connected by a common first floor zone offering space for a wide variety of commercial types. The areas above between the buildings will be converted into a public terrace offering a view across the railroad embankment to Lake Starnberg. The ideal location for a restaurant or café with idyllic outdoor seating. In turn, the free-standing parts of the building are to provide space for offices and living quarters.

For a long time, the property on Bahnhofstraße was used as a parking lot and by a small pizza delivery company. A vacant building stood out like a monolith at the rear of the site. A place that offered neither quality of stay nor any real added value for the people of Starnberg. With the demolition of the pizza house in March 2021, we paved the way for the redevelopment of the area and created space for one of the most eye-catching local interim uses: The "Cradle of Starnberg".

To bring the site to life even before its transformation, we collaborated with the artist Andreas Sarow in 2021 to create the ‘Cradle of Starnberg’ as a temporary interim use. The elaborate timber structure offered not only ground-level seating areas but also fantastic views of Lake Starnberg from the upper levels of the staircase. The aim of this interim use was to create a meeting place even before construction began, fostering a sense of community along the Lake Starnberg promenade and thus offering a foretaste of the new urban quarter.
