A special quality of the place lies in its still open, unoccupied character: many fallow areas, no fixed programming, trampling paths, the wide spaces to the fair. The settlement is still incomplete - the wild somewhat forgotten Riemer Osten. An urban terrace house for the wild east: the structure occupies the plot almost completely, the communal open spaces are in and on the house. In the south of the perimeter, the street space of Heinrich-Böll-Strasse widens out like a square; here the building also steps down to the corner on Elisabeth-Mann-Borgese-Strasse. It seemingly grows into the space and connects with the street space and the neighbourhood. The floor-by-floor offset also separates the public from the communal open spaces. In the interplay with WA2 and WA1, the house is like a necessary end or beginning point of the entire cooperative ensemble.
The deep ground floor results in many different places and open spaces at the transition: between the interior and exterior space, between the community of the house and the public facility/workshop and the neighbourhood. In various gradations and orientations, the ground floor makes these interfaces its theme. In this way, the building stimulates urban life; it networks with the public space in many ways.
Residents enter the central hall through a threshold space between the square and the cafeteria. Another threshold space is found at the transition to the courtyard, which allows a view through the depth of the building. These spaces complement the open space; the project argues for more open spaces inside the house with the two-dimensional courtyard development: the house is the courtyard!!!
The development structure conceptually follows the logic of the building structure and the housing forms. Depending on the situation, the flats are entered via the interior hall or via the exterior communal winter garden. In this way, the development adapts to the respective living scenario. The different types of housing are distributed in the house according to location and access type. Basically, we propose many identical rooms that can be programmed according to need.
