Kuhlio residential quarter in Frankfurt
Urban, stylish, trend-setting: with the KUHLIO building ensemble, the architectural firm ilter provides a prime example of contemporary living in the big city.
The innovative residential quarter on Kuhwaldstraße in Frankfurt's booming Bockenheim district combines the dynamism of urban life with the tranquillity of a decelerated lifestyle. On the outside, the modular structures mark a striking, urban presence; on the inside, KUHLIO offers its residents a light and green refuge.
The architecture of the ensemble - a coherent, three-storey base with individual towering solitaires - allows optimised light and air incidence and demonstrably contributes to urban cooling through landscaped neighbourhood courtyards with tenant gardens. A clear architectural language, open floor plans and communal green spaces ensure a high level of quality of life and create space for individuality, identity and communication.
As Germany's first GreenPass-certified residential concept, KUHLIO offers contemporary and sustainable living space for singles, couples and families with 107 individual residential units as well as eight exclusive townhouses and penthouse maisonettes. The 1.5- to 4-room flats with total areas of 40 m² to 120 m² have spacious balconies and terraces. Room heights of over 2.60 m and floor-to-ceiling window elements let in plenty of light and ensure a bright and friendly living atmosphere.
The interior features include wooden parquet flooring as well as electronic shutters and modern underfloor heating, which is supplied by the building's own heating system with a block-type thermal power station.
The clear design language is consistently continued in the bathrooms: restrained colours, rectangular wall and floor tiles in stone look and a geometric design give the bathrooms a timeless and puristic style.
Modern TECEprofil universal toilet modules support technically flawless building operation with reliable flush technology, while the TECEnow actuator plates in elegant white become a high-contrast eye-catcher above the wall-hung WCs. With an extra-flat, angular frame and generous buttons, the TECEnow toilet push plates fit seamlessly into the minimalist, powerful design of the urban living concept and contribute to the special quality of life of the residents in the KUHLIO quarter through maximum user convenience.
