Clear lines and EHRET sliding shutters
for the façades
After approximately three years of construction, Salmenpark, located on the site of the former Salmenbräu brewery in Rheinfelden (Switzerland), has successfully managed to link modern and historic architecture. Characteristic elements of the historic brewery such as the malt silo, lodge and seawall were maintained and have been incorporated into the overall architecture.
The newly erected buildings combine aesthetic, functional and environmental standards. EHRET sliding shutters have also been used here, representing a characteristic feature of the façade.
Salmenpark in Rheinfelden has become a coveted residential area thanks to its idyllic location that is not too far from the city centre.
Modern complex
with the Minergie standard
Between 2013 and 2016, almost 150 apartments, as well as a senior residence and care centre, were built on the site. Added to this were commercial premises for offices and retail. Before the first sod was even turned, major interest was shown in the new residential units at Salmenpark thanks to the modern concept from creative thinkers atelier ww, who took a modern, light-filled approach to combining home and living. The entire complex was built in accordance with the Minergie standard. Originally intended for wellness, existing caverns are now used for energy storage. Together with the waste heat from the Feldschlösschen brewery, the entire site is supplied with clean energy.
A residential area
for all generations
Salmenpark in Rheinfelden embraces the idea of a modern and diverse community that lives and works together. The ground floors have public passages to the commercial premises, and the plinth of the Salmen centre with its major retailer also serves as a terrace for the horseshoe-shaped residential and care centre located directly above it. Spacious office and commercial premises are located on the roadside. The buildings have been designed in such a way that private and public outdoor spaces were possible, creating a lively atmosphere for the entire complex. Its location directly on the Rhine, opposite the recreational Southern Black Forest, as well as its close proximity to Rheinfelden city centre, make Salmenpark a particularly attractive residential area. An extension is thus already planned for the coming years.
for the façades
Earthy red, grey and green tones define the building façades at Salmenpark, and EHRET sliding shutters with movable slats in a darker grey tone were selected for the windows. A homogeneous colour palette has thus resulted that creates a comfortable, warm atmosphere across the entire complex at any time of the year.
The buildings at Salmenpark boast clean lines, further emphasised by the fibre cement on the ground floor and the smooth plaster on the upper floors. These sleek lines are continued with the EHRET sliding shutters and movable slats, model SUN-MAX48-V, which also ensure individually adjustable light in all rooms. The slats can be evenly and easily positioned in a number of ways. The flush closing minimises the entry of light. Thanks to their innovative design, the EHRET sliding shutters with movable slats also allow for large sash dimensions without disruptive vertical or horizontal cross-panels. And not only do they look good, but they deliver on function too.
are planned
Before the first construction phase had even finished in 2016, plans were being made for an expansion of the complex on the Salmenpark site. As laid out in the design plan, four further buildings with around 100 additional apartments are intended. Contrary to the original planning, this expansion will solely involve residential premises, even though further commercial premises would be possible. Keys to the new apartments should be handed over by 2020.
