The Stuttgart-based architects from asp Architekten have designed a car park with an integrated energy center in the former freight station of Stuttgart Bad Cannstatt, near the Mercedes Benz Arena, a stadium which has also been redeveloped by the same architects.

The car park is located in the Neckarpark district, a 22-hectare area where some 2,000 people are expected to work in the future. The project is a solution to the lack of underground parking because it is a protected area with medicinal springs.
asp Architekten's project is intended to be one of the first impulses for the neighborhood to start sustainable and forward-looking urban planning employing energy and environmentally committed facilities.

The façade of the building will be 30% green and El Barrio will have a sustainable energy supply. The car park will have spaces for both cars and bicycles, as well as an energy center.

Description of project by asp Architekten

Parking garage with integrated energy centre by asp Architekten in Stuttgart Bad Cannstatt‘s Neckarpark.

In the location of the former Stuttgart Bad Cannstatt freight station, the Neckarpark mixed-use district will gradually be built over the next few years. One day, 2,000 people will live and work on the 22-hectare site. In the spirit of sustainable, future-oriented urban planning, the neighbourhood is to play a pioneering role in terms of both energy and environmental policy. It is planned that 30 per cent of the entire façade will be greened and that the district will have its own sustainable energy supply.

Since the neighbourhood is located in a protected area for medicinal springs, only a small number of parking spaces can be located in underground parking garages. This gave rise to the idea of building a parking garage that would accommodate cars and bicycles as well as the energy centre. The architects of asp succeeded in solving the complex task and designing an identity-creating building that marks the kick-off for the new neighbourhood.

ASP Architekten is an internationally mixed architectural practice based in the German city of Stuttgart specializing in projects located in urban environments. Its history begins in the 1950s, being the current successor of "asp" Arat, Siegel und Partner founded in 1992 by Mete Arat and Henner Siegel. During this time they designed the Stuttgart Airport, the Arena Leipzig, and the conversion of the Stuttgart Neckar Stadium for the 1993 World Athletics Championships.

In 2006, Cem Arat, Karsten Schust, and Jochen Siegel took over the sole management of the office and increased the number of employees to around 35-40 architects. During these years, they realized the projects for the conversion of the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the two EWE stadiums in Oldenburg, and the VfB Stuttgart youth center.

Alex Wall, Markus Weismann, and Oliver Lambrecht collaborated at the Chair of Urban Construction and Design at the University of Karlsruhe (KIT). After a series of successful competitions, they founded their office in Stuttgart in 2008. This office was to be the generational handover for the former managers of ASP Architekten. The current directors are the former managing directors who were appointed partners, Eberhard Becker, Suna Konyalıoğlu, and Dimitrios Kogios, together with Markus Weismann and Cem Arat.
