The building wing positioned along the street includes a 6-storey, differentiated structure with a maximum height of 20 meters in accordance with the height of the neighbouring buildings. The 4-storey building in the courtyard divides the court in a private garden to the east and a semi-public area to the west.
The transition between the front building and the garden house is designed as a center for the entire ensemble. Here is a contact zone between the space used by the social welfare organisation, the residential spaces for dementia patients, the daycare function and the other residential spaces.
An important aspect of the design is the differentiation of the internal and external spatial references.
All apartments benefit from light coming from two sides and are equipped with naturally lit bathrooms.
The materiality of the building surfaces is to be kept simple.
The buildings are designed as highly thermally insulated constructions with the specifics of the KfW 40 building standards.
The aim of the design is to develop a both socially and energetically sustainable concept for the overall project.
