Majolika-Quartier: Living Space with Social Added Value

With the construction of the "Majolika-Quartier" in Rheinbach, weisenburger is realizing a modern, sustainable neighborhood development on behalf of VIVAWEST on the historic site of the former Majolika factory Jean Fuss & Sohn. The diverse ensemble comprises six apartment buildings across four building complexes, providing a total of 150 open-market residential units. The neighborhood is complemented by 24 publicly subsidized senior apartments in two integrated shared-living groups, as well as a modern day-care facility. Thanks to the combination of diverse housing forms, high-quality building fabric, and social infrastructure, a future-proof urban living environment is created for different generations and stages of life.

Distinctive Aesthetics and High Quality of Stay

The architecture combines a modern appearance with practical, well-thought-out spatial concepts. On the exterior walls, a high-quality insulation system with mineral thick-coat plaster ensures reliable heat protection in summer and comfortable warmth in winter. Accents made of refined facing bricks and brick slips give the facade an elegant, urban character. The apartment layouts offer high flexibility for every stage of life – from singles and families to seniors. Large triple-glazed window elements allow plenty of daylight into the living spaces, effectively keeping out street noise while minimizing energy loss. Generously designed balconies, terraces, and rooftop terraces – paved with concrete block slabs and equipped with steel railings featuring opaque glass – serve as private outdoor retreats. Richly planted green spaces in the inner courtyard and green roofs harmoniously round off the overall appearance.

Future-Proof Technology and Energy Standards

The entire ensemble meets the KfW 55 EE Efficiency House standard, guaranteeing long-term value preservation of the building structure. Air-water heat pumps combined with comfortable underfloor heating in all living areas ensure a sustainable heat supply. Photovoltaic systems on the roofs generate renewable electricity. Four underground garages offer 167 parking spaces that are structurally prepared for e-mobility. Barrier-free pathways via step-free elevator systems to the basement areas, along with high sound insulation standards, complete the highly functional infrastructure.

Urban Connectivity and Local Quality of Life

The location of Rheinbach is characterized by an excellent, well-established infrastructure from which the Majolika-Quartier directly benefits. Connections to public and regional transport as well as the well-developed road network ensure short distances for daily needs and efficient accessibility to surrounding centers. All facilities for local and urban amenities – including daycare centers, schools, medical specialists, and shopping facilities – are located nearby, guaranteeing a comprehensive quality of life in the neighborhood. The district thus combines prime location quality with high living comfort, creating a sustainable synthesis of excellent connectivity and sheltered privacy.
