Construction has completed on Caruso St John's Paulaner housing in Munich. The 36,000m² new building on Welfenstrasse provides three hundred apartments for both private sale and social tenants, along with a crèche, kindergarten and retail units on the ground floor.
The structure is six storeys high, rising in parts to eight storeys and forms a large city block, giving a clear definition to the surrounding streets. It adopts a typology typical to Munich of a block with a large shared garden enclosed at its centre.
