The Don Camillo+Peppone high-rise buildings have dominated the Detmerode skyline since the 1960s. With 13 and 23 storeys, they are visible far beyond the district. NEULAND has set itself the task of preserving these two landmarks and giving them a new look.
The buildings have been completely gutted and are being rebuilt around the existing shell. This will create 212 modern flats with contemporary floor plans, barrier-free access and spacious, brand-new balconies. The new façade with its metal elements is a deliberate reminder of the automotive city of Wolfsburg.
About the architectural designer
The Canadian architectural designer Chris Doray developed the design for the revitalisation. His studio in Vancouver is known worldwide for sophisticated high-rise projects. For Don Camillo+Peppone, he has designed a façade that references Wolfsburg's history with automotive elements. Glass lifts and light-flooded corridors create a completely new living experience in the towers.
