Wilhelmsheim Center, Shopping Center
Four-storey shopping center. The floor heights of the first and second floors are based on retail space. The upper floors 2 and 3 accommodate offices. The main entrance is on the front. There are three side entrances at the rear. There are also delivery and stairwells on the ground floor.
Architecture and facade construction and design are inspired by several shopping centers and retail properties from Berlin, Nuremberg and Passau. In its conception, however, it represents its own design. The size of the facade elements reflects the size of the surrounding buildings. The colors of the tiles correspond to the colors of the surrounding buildings.
My motivation was firstly to create a shopping center with parking spaces (here: separate parking garage) for a convenient location. Second, in reality it is usually the case that the architecture of a new building corresponds to its immediate surroundings. In the immediate vicinity of buildings of particular historical importance, one would rather choose a restrained architectural language / facade design. If, on the other hand, a new building is not exposed to any restrictions from the environment, it can use a concise architecture / facade design itself. It is precisely against this background that I have used a facade design that is itself an eye-catcher, its own high recognition value. Thirdly, to create more than the numerous advertising logos that existed in the workshop in order to enable an individual advertising design for the building.
The nocturnal illumination takes into account a comparatively warm light for the passages of the shopping center and a bright light for the stairwells, which are also escape routes under building regulations. Thus, restaurants etc. and stairwells sometimes light up at different times, which is quite authentic due to the different types of use.
Following the majority of the wishes of the Cities Skylines community, the asset is completely free of props. Props visible in the screenshots are the “Lüftungsrohr #1” and the “Solar panel 4units triple pack” from SvenBerlin.
The total effort for this three-part set of shopping center, parking garage with shops and the connecting bridge plus logos and advertising is around 75-80 hours. Developing the color concept alone took several hours. Because within the four main colors, the respective color jumps should appear as evenly as possible.
