Team point of view

The project transmogrifies the existing residential area with its privately used gardens into urban living with commonly and privately used external spaces. The area of common use in the centre (semi-public courtyard) and the area of commercial use (“Galvani”-, “Sperberplatz”) in the nearby town provide old and new residents with identifiable spaces – for communication, recreation, and commerce. The construction varies from 3-5 storeys. The extra urban elevation at the newly created public spaces gives the building a distinctive look and protects from traffic noises. All apartments are accessible via open staircases in the courtyard. They extend to loggias which provide space for communication between neighbourhoods. So the external spaces offer an attractive alternative to a single family home.
