Open space design for the new OP building Orthopaedic Hospital Schloss Werneck

Perennial carpets and flowering instead of purely technical development

The basic idea of the open space design is based on the baroque garden forms of the castle garden - historical garden parterres are interpreted in a modern way as a "grid":
- Diagonal lawn axes with herb carpets and mats create the connection to the new building wing. The open space will be furnished with various textural, color, and material cushions.
- Creation of an alternating wet gravel or planting bed for the infiltration of the rainwater from the paved areas.
- Necessary traffic access roads are covered by suitable materials (large stone / small stone paving, etc.), so that delivery, turning and fire brigade roundabout are ensured.
- The plantings are selected in accordance with the individual plant mats and cushions in different heights and structures.
- Some of the elevated rooftop trellises will be accented with shade tolerant ornamental roses as well as perennial roses.
- The open space along the existing wall - near the Guddensaal - is limited by a living hedge.
