The working- and living community Hagenstrasse in Korbach/Germany consists of commercial, working and housing units. The apartments are cross-subsidized by the commercial part. The project is well integrated into the neighbourhood and provides housing for all income groups.
Two volumes form a community yard on the green roof of the commercial unit. Additionally, inside of the building there are common areas for residents and guests. Different cubes subdivide the building masses in order to respond to the urban context. The roof, the entrances, and balconies result in a balanced tension between open and closed spaces.
