Onthis place, in which elegant limousines in the Art Deco style where construct in the 1920s, a new urban development is being built.1.Significant buildings in crystalline form. The slantings and attitudescreate associations with storage buildings, whitch also stand at theLindenau port. Certainly, this is a "breath" of fresh air for the world tour,which Leipzig has always search with the rivers and canals, thearchitectures - the connection to the metropolises and the connection tothe large port cities like Hamburg. A small part of a vision should cometrue. The comb-like rebuilding allows air and sun to enter the residentialdevelopment behind Holbeinstraße.2.The old and new buildings are concentrated on the waterfront. In theold to be renovated factory building 30 new lofts are being built. Thesturdy steel concrete skeleton constructions with the supports, trestles and vaults are the defining design elements. The materiality with the clinkerfaçades finds its continuation in the substructure of the slender whitestorage-like buildings. As a matter of course, something new is integratedinto the old ensembles. In the new buildings modern, generously cutapartments will be created with flexible ground plans. The orientation is to the south and west with spacious terraces and balconies.3.The yard of the facility is traffic-free, because the cars are in anunderground car park at the entrance of the Holbeinstraße.4.Parallel to Holbeinstraße and waterway, the inner passage-likedevelopment takes place.
