There are many architectural approaches that have a significant impact on the form of a building. The location, the function and, often, current trends. It is not uncommon for planning regulations to ultimately act as a constraint and set limits.
At Hohen Heckenweg, the local development plan and the narrow margin for permissible deviation are by far the driving force and are therefore entirely decisive for the building’s volume, its fundamental character and its urban design.
Set-back areas, the ‘narrow-side principle’ and minimum distances leave very little scope for creative freedom or architectural theory. Heavy traffic to the south and another road to the west virtually negate all the otherwise pressing fundamental requirements.
If a 3D model is constructed based on the constraints described above, the scope for responding to the sun’s position and environmental stresses is very limited.
Nevertheless, the few truly functional approaches are exciting and demonstrate that, whilst many elements can be dispensed with, the majority of the flats can still be provided with at least one good aspect.
A building could scarcely be more honest in its desire to create many affordable flats. This is a quality that, not least in an architectural sense, defiantly and self-assuredly challenges every academic theory or school of thought.
