Park-Haus II – CARS MAKE ROOM FOR HOMES

A project for the transformation of a multi-storey car park into a contemporary home. With a focus on preserving the existing building and creating additional high-quality yet affordable living space in a prime location. The future flats will offer living space for anyone who is interested in a somewhat alternative form of living and appreciates the special features that come with living in a converted parking garage. The focus is on communal living in various facets. The area surrounding Biel station is undergoing an intensive development process, with projects being planned, under construction or recently completed on almost every plot of land. The region already benefits from educational institutions and from 2026, a new campus for the university of applied sciences will further revitalise the area in the near future as several thousand students are expected to arrive every day. It is therefore the ideal place to offer additional living space.
