New residential and commercial building | Competition 2008 1st. price “Round Corner” – This new 5 storey structure with basement floor, which is divided into 3 retail levels (ground floor, basement and first storey above ground) and 2 residential storeys, is located in the middle of Siegburgs pedestrian zone.
