Award of structural engineering design services for the new construction of the kindergarten with subsidized housing at the neighborhood square in the new city district "Ziegelhöhe"

In close cooperation with the city of Mühlacker, the Hofkammer des Hauses Württemberg is developing the industrial area of the former brickworks in Mühlacker. A new city district is being realized on the over 20-hectare site, close to the city center and train station. In addition to housing, social infrastructure, retail and office spaces, and a spacious green area as a central green space are being created. For the entire industrial area, a non-open urban planning competition was held in 2013. The winning design by baurmann.dürr Architekten (Karlsruhe) has been continuously developed since then. Based on the urban planning design, the development plan is being created. The realization plans were specified through competitive procedures. They are being implemented successively. East of the neighborhood square, a senior citizens' residence is being built. To the north, the neighborhood square is bordered by a city house/community center at the change in elevation. For the western edge of the square, a mixed-use construction measure with a daycare center and subsidized housing is planned. This is the subject of the competitive procedure. The project for the daycare center with subsidized housing is being realized by Stadtbau Mühlacker GmbH & Co. KG. The new mixed residential quarter is intended to be attractive and affordable for many resident groups. Therefore, the awarding authority is exclusively providing for subsidized housing according to the Baden-Württemberg State Housing Subsidy Guidelines for this construction task. The apartments are located above the daycare center. The access to the daycare center and the housing is planned independently. Housing mix (number of apartments): approx. 50% 2-room apartments approx. 30% 3-room apartments approx. 20% 4-room apartments The guidelines for state housing subsidies must be adhered to for the apartment sizes. The target group includes single individuals, couples, and families. The total area for housing should be oriented towards a compatible urban structure. Approximately 15 apartments are planned. In the competition area, a 5-group daycare center with a total area of around 1,400 square meters of gross floor area is to be built (see Appendix Room Program Daycare Center). The daycare center to be planned must comply with the requirements of the Municipal Association for Youth and Social Affairs Baden-Württemberg (KVJS). The requirements of the KVJS are considered the minimum standard. A daycare center with four groups for children over 3 years old (approx. 100 children) and one group for children under 3 years old (approx. 10-12 children) is required.
