An urban, economically viable building concept was sought for plot nos. 1318, 1317 and 106, which harmonises with the existing situation, but which also makes the area more compact. The village’s Riedmatt quarter is characterised by its extensive, compact, reed-covered meadows, dirt roads and paths, and abundance of fruit trees. Here and there the area is scattered with farmsteads that nestle comfortably into the landscape. Opposite this, along the Stanserstrasse, Ennetbürgen is spilling out of the main nucleus of the village into the surrounding area. The typical reedlands merge in many places with the development area. The objective is to maintain this interlocking and interweaving of the two areas in a subtle manner and to refrain from defining it with hard lines. The proposed concept is based on a cluster that incorporates this subtle interlacing. The urban area should co-exist in harmony with the surrounding countryside. Various areas of space and landscape are to be created within this cluster, which cater for the needs of the quarter - for example, by integrating common areas, private gardens and parking facilities -, while at the same leaving individual areas in their original state – for example, by integrating parts of the fruit orchards into the new quarter. Naturally, the volume of the buildings also forms an integral part of the cluster. Together with the areas of open space and landscape, the buildings divide the entire quarter into different zones. From the main access road, you first reach the specifically public areas, such as the public square, visitor parking spaces and building access paths, as well as isolated commercial buildings. In order to minimise the main flow of traffic already at the entrance to the quarter, access to the underground garage is located here. The further you penetrate into the quarter, the more intimately the places are defined. Opposite the public square, for example, is a garden area, carefully integrated into the landscape, which is principally planned to offer an additional leisure area for use by the quarter residents.
This garden area will be solely surrounded by private gardens that are allocated to the apartments. The entire cluster is linked by a system of pathways connecting the various buildings with each other.
The design of the cluster is also such that the planned body of buildings is supplied with sufficient air to breathe. The staggered layout of the buildings ensures that each has enough space around it. This concept was not only applied to the new quarter, but also in relation to the existing buildings. The aim was to avoid individual buildings from being crowded by others.
The result is a coherent composition of urban buildings, offering the residents ample private areas, as well as interesting and exciting leisure zones. This ambience is supported by interesting views both towards the outside and the inside of the quarter.
