Location / Urban Design

The “Campus LOUI” is located at the centre of the new Weststadt district, surrounded by new start-ups and former industrial sites. The arrangement of the two new buildings—a hotel and an administration building—creates a new urban environment.

In addition to administrative and hotel uses, C_LOUI provides new urban open spaces. It also brings the large-scale structures of the neighbouring buildings down to a human scale, creating high-quality areas for people to stay and improved pedestrian connections.

The internal square between WF06 and the two new building sections not only provides space for the hotel restaurant’s outdoor area, but also serves as a place to linger and as a forecourt to the respective entrances.

Although the hotel building forms the primary address and is the first element visible from outside, its volume leaves space for the neighbouring campus building, WF06, thereby opening up an axis towards the inner square. Along this new access axis, visitors are given a view of the buildings seemingly located in the second row—the administration building and the multi-storey car park/office building.
