The City of Munich's new overnight shelter in Schwabing-Freimann has revamped how they support the homeless, shifting from temporary housing in large rooms to more intimate settings with four beds. The facility is designed to provide comprehensive services, including counseling and medical care, and features separate areas to minimize conflict. The layout, inspired by historic architecture, includes attractive courtyards that create outdoor gathering spaces, aiming to give guests not just emergency shelter, but a sense of a temporary home through thoughtful design and modular construction.
The new facility enhances support for the homeless in Munich, transitioning from temporary shelter to a space offering comprehensive services, including counseling and medical treatment.
The design, inspired by Theodor Fischer's historic 'Ledigenheim', incorporates a comb-like layout allowing for individual spaces while ensuring a level of openness for smooth operations.
The project utilizes a modular construction approach for efficiency, combining a robust concrete base with a warm, inviting upper facade made from prefabricated timber elements.
The facility aims to create a 'temporary home' for those in crisis, with courtyards providing sheltered outdoor spaces amid an otherwise uninviting urban environment.
