“Am Rodelberg” Housing Development in Mainz, Germany

Architectural Highlight with Spectacular Facade: Since 2023, the new “Am Rodelberg” housing development has stood out prominently on a hill in the southern part of Mainz, Germany. With their flowing design language, these ten apartment blocks nestle gracefully into their mature woodland setting. The continuous facade panels in a wood-look finish from Conti® woodec are a striking, stand-out feature.

Living in harmony with nature

Family-friendly, nature-connected living was a central focus from the outset in planning the new neighborhood. Even from a distance, the appealing contrast of the white circumferential balcony bands against the warm wood tones of the facades captures the eye. A closer look reveals that the five-story buildings are clad with polymer panels in the Conti® woodec Turner Oak malt decor. The combination of dark-framed windows and doors in conjunction with the rounded building contours creates an organic whole that refreshingly sets itself apart from today’s architectural mainstream.

Unsurpassed design and product features

The vivid wood look of Conti® woodec Turner Oak emphasizes the sustainability-focused residential concept to excellent effect. Conti® woodec permits a stylish and economical approach to modern facade elements that exude natural charm. The vibrant colors and intricately detailed design features are almost indistinguishable from their natural counterparts, while the deep embossing and matt appearance of Conti® woodec are unsurpassed on the market.

Another advantage of Conti® woodec is its outstanding material properties: thanks to the patented Conti® cool colors technology, thermal infrared radiation is reflected rather than absorbed by the surface. As a result, the facade elements stay up to 10 °C cooler and remain in top condition for longer. Yet another benefit is that, unlike real wood, there’s no worry of material deterioration such as graying or cracking. Moreover, Conti® woodec surfaces are dirt- and scratch-resistant and easy to clean.

Obviously the right choice for your outdoor surfaces

All 205 apartments of the new “Am Rodelberg” complex were rented right from the start. This comes as no surprise, given the ideal combination of architectural elegance, sustainable living and affordable rents – thanks in no small part to the exterior surfaces from Continental, which are both durable and easy to work with.
