In view of the scarcity of building plots on the one hand and the shortage of available housing on the other, densified construction is one of several strategies to mitigate the housing shortage. In this spirit, the private property owners decided to develop the rear part of their site on the edge of a residential area in Bielefeld with two multi-family houses, each containing six residential units.
The design proposes two three-story buildings offset from one another, ensuring that neither obstructs the other’s views while satisfying the residents’ need for privacy by avoiding direct lines of sight between apartments. Both houses are organized as dual-access buildings with two- and three-room apartments ranging in size from 77 to 115 m². The upper units are designed as mezzanines. The main entrances are on the north side, while the living and dining areas with open kitchens are oriented to the south. Along the entire length of the buildings, large terraces extend in front of these southern living areas.
The buildings are of solid construction. The façades of the mezzanine floors differ from those of the first two stories - the former clad in pre-weathered zinc, the latter in pressure-impregnated wooden slats. This material differentiation articulates the building’s structure and visually reduces its apparent height. Large window openings on the southwest side allow generous daylight into the living, cooking, and dining areas located there.
