Carl Wüst Site, Fellbach
In 2007, BFK Architekten was commissioned to design a commercial center in the heart of Fellbach.
From 2008 onward, the design was developed through a cooperative process in close collaboration with the city’s urban planning department, a municipal council committee, and the property owners.
The site had been home to the Carl Wüst steel pressing plant for more than 100 years. Production had to cease by the end of 2008 for environmental reasons. The existing buildings were demolished over the course of 2014, with the exception of a listed building section on Bahnhofstraße.

The podium level occupies most of the site and provides space for four high-quality retail units. Their opening has strengthened local retail provision in central Fellbach. Above the podium, five buildings accommodate four service units and 26 exclusive apartments with small gardens or generous balconies and roof terraces.
Along Bahnhofstraße, the ensemble is carefully integrated into the existing street frontage, while the materials of the contemporary façades correspond with the surrounding buildings. The entrance to the underground car park is located on Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße. It provides public and private parking spaces and is directly connected to the residential buildings via the vertical circulation cores.
