Town hall in Zell (Mosel) Minimal

People living and working along the Moselle, having commissioned buildings such as the Zell town hall, have known for generations what sustainability means. You don't need to explain the issue to these guys. At the same time, an administrative building should convey a sense of openness, while also offering privacy. The Schörghuber acoustic-rated doors, most of which are room-high with fixed glazing elements, achieve just that at the town hall in Zell.

Topic Overview

The “Moselaner” (as they call themselves) know a thing or two about sustainability. The Moselle, with its narrow bends and fluctuating water levels, its steep, sunlit slopes on both sides, and the people who live on the narrow stretches of riverbank, have spent centuries forming a system that can only survive if it is used sparingly and not overtaxed. There is little room for expansive architecture here. The steep slopes are far too fragile. What's more, as world-famous vineyards, they are far too valuable to simply be dug up. The winemakers' narrow houses nestle close to the vineyard of the “Schwarze Katz” site, so as not to lose a single square metre of valuable vineyard space.
