Obstgartenstrasse 29

Project by Nicolai Dinkel

The entrance is located in district 6 and belongs to a older building. Accordingly, the entrance is also older. At least it makes an older impression. It is one of 3 entrances in this building volume. It is an entrance to an apartment building. In front of the entrance door there is a small forecourt with the mailboxes to the apartment block. It is located on the same level as the pedestrian path that passes in front of the building. Next to the pedestrian walkway there is parking for cars, motorcycles and bicycles. A hedge between the walkway and the first floor provides privacy for the residents on the first floor. Between the hedge and the building there is a small corridor, which is 3 steps lower.

One step leads into the building. The door leaf and the door frame is made of green colored wood and is set slightly into the wall. The door has small windows through which you can see inside. Above the door it also has an opening. It consists of several small squiggly windows. The upper part is round. It looks like a half circle window. The entrance area is made of sandstone and is richly decorated with ornaments, just like the windows. Above the entrance area, a projecting band runs through the whole facade.
