NWBH Construction Site 8

The approach chosen here tests the discrepancy in compliance with the lighting rules and the closest possible positioning of the building masses to each other in order to create appropriate shading of the area. The strategic approach can be read in different ways - quite metaphorically:
- nature erodes a massive volume block from within
- hard shell and soft core
- undulating façades create meandering garden walls
- a classical courtyard dissolves into green canyons
- strict street façade with seemingly arbitrary, playful courtyard façade

First of all, the intention of the development plan is fulfilled, which demands both the extension to street edges, but also the dissolution of a block structure towards the inside. The differently trapezoidal courtyard wings, which dock onto the rational perimeter brace, appear almost like individual buildings. Ultimately, this morphological approach finds its characteristic expression in the individual building on the southern part of the site, in which the autonomy of the building is clearly expressed once again despite its genotypical derivation from the courtyard façades. In addition, this structure is largely elevated, so that the courtyard space flows through into the overall structure of the adjacent building plots.

There is also a spacious terrace for the general public on the base floor, as well as on the south-eastern end of the street wing. As already mentioned, the southern solitary building is largely elevated: here we also find covered outdoor areas for general, collective use, a significant part of which also belongs to the children's and youth playground that surrounds this part of the building. This ensures a smooth spatial and functional transition to the other parts of the neighborhood.
