Child and Youth Center Helene P. designed by Kauffmann Theilig & Partner, Right at the main road that leads to the inner city of Stuttgart, there was the old youth center, a former chemist’s mansion from 1870. It was redeveloped and an extension was added that should appear as much as possible like an artificial landscape. The unique appearance of the new complex creates a characteristic location that all young users should identify with.
There are different usage located in each building part: the open youth work for all young people in the old villa, the mobile youth work for people with migrant background in the tower beside and the daycare for children in the low vegetated part at the street. All parts are arranged that they could be used independently. They are clearly visible to the outside and are linked through the basement where communicative elements such as a multipurpose room and a cafeteria with kitchen are located. There is also a semi-public outdoor area with sports facilities. The panoramic view over Stuttgart is present in nearly all the rooms of the building
In the old building, all windows and doors were replaced and all technical and safety installations were renewed. The wooden flooring and friezes were refurbished if possible. The construction of the new building is mostly concrete with green roofs. The very sloped facades are lined with metal and fibreboard panels.
