Housing for young people must meet three
conditions: It must be affordable, should respond flexibly to
changing situations and offer generous interior and exterior
spaces for communication.
Our project features small and
economic units - "mini-lofts" -with a flexible floor
plan (one or two room flats) - the fixed sanitary box manages
the spatial separation.
With
its compact housing units on one side, on the other side the supply
of differentiated but flexible open spaces is a central task.
These are the common areas in the floors – we call
them the “floating gardens” - and other open
spaces in the area of the ground floor and around the
building, the sunken garden as the connecting theme of the
neighborhood. The building itself is lifted above the service
facilities on the ground floor to generate a covered open space.
