The roof
as a living space

Urban gardening connects: The roofs of the four buildings are places of encounter and communication. Here, people dig, plant and celebrate. Each party has its own raised bed and harvests what they sow. And thus contributes to a diverse and lively space for the community.

Courage for sharp contrasts: with rough, but also honest materials that testify to character and strength
It doesn't take much:
just a little petrol.

And suddenly, a conventional elevator becomes a refreshing splash of color in the stairwell. With a sculptural effect.

Build
Land­scape

Green spaces open up, trees grow out of underground garages: the boundaries between architecture and open space blur and form a symbiotic entity. Spaces emerge that develop their own life.

Diversity in unity: grouped around the central courtyard, in the middle of which a tree shoots up from the underground car park.
