Kuhlio Residential District in Frankfurt
Urban, stylish, and forward-looking: With the KUHLIO building ensemble, the ilter architectural firm delivers a prime example of contemporary urban living.
The innovative residential district on Kuhwaldstrasse in Frankfurt's booming Bockenheim district combines the dynamism of urban life with the tranquility of a slower pace of life. Externally, the modular buildings create a striking, urban presence, while internally, KUHLIO offers its residents a light and green refuge.
The architecture of the ensemble – a coherent, three-story base with individual, soaring solitary buildings – allows for optimized light and airflow and demonstrably contributes to urban cooling through green courtyards with tenant gardens. A clear architectural language, open floor plans, and communal green spaces ensure a high level of quality of life and create space for individuality, identity, and communication.
As Germany's first GreenPass-certified residential concept, KUHLIO offers contemporary and sustainable living space for singles, couples, and families with 107 individual residential units as well as eight exclusive townhouses and penthouse maisonettes. The 1.5- to 4-room apartments, with total areas ranging from 40 m² to 120 m², feature spacious balconies and terraces. Ceiling heights of over 2.60 m and floor-to-ceiling windows allow for plenty of light and create a bright and welcoming living atmosphere.
The interior features wood parquet flooring, electronic shutters, and modern underfloor heating, which is supplied by the property's own central heating system with a combined heat and power plant.
The clean design language is consistently continued in the bathrooms: restrained colors, rectangular wall and floor tiles with a stone look, and a geometric design lend the bathrooms a timeless and puristic style.
Modern TECEprofil universal toilet modules support technically flawless building operation with reliable flushing technology, while the TECEnow flush plates in elegant white create a contrasting eye-catcher above the wall-mounted toilets. With their extra-flat, square frames and generously sized buttons, the TECEnow toilet flush plates blend seamlessly into the minimalist yet powerful design of the urban living concept and contribute to the exceptional quality of life of the residents in the KUHLIO district through maximum user comfort.
