Urban development realisation competition

The location and surroundings of the site provide an indication of how to create a holistic, spatially defined neighbourhood that interweaves with its surroundings in all directions. The heterogeneous surroundings therefore require a complementary development that acts as a mediator and at the same time continues and completes the development along Wiffertshauserstraße and Singerstraße. The creation of comprehensible scales and thus spatial qualities is at the centre of the considerations.Together with the existing buildings to the west, a new common centre will be created, a neighbourhood square in the centre, with communal spaces along the square. This is an opportunity for everyone to come together and an additional enhancement of the open spaces for the existing buildings.

A neighbourhood meeting point, a small café and the "Salettl", which closes off the square, offer space for sustainable interaction, exchange, celebrations and get-togethers. The new building blocks are designed as open courtyards that divide the neighbourhood into sub-areas. The formation of small-scale courtyards creates a familiar, green community atmosphere at neighbourhood level. The private green and open spaces connected to the flats are also largely orientated towards the quiet courtyard sides. The height development decreases towards the east, staggered storeys with two and three storeys are orientated towards the neighbouring buildings to the east. To emphasise the expanse of the inner square, some four-storey buildings have been placed there. These accentuate and enclose the centre and, thanks to their good accessibility, can be easily reached by the fire brigade's turntable ladder. The green courtyards are free of parking spaces and can therefore be functionally strengthened and planted with large trees.
