| General | |
| Project development | On a former market garden area, housing close to the city was planned; the owner of the area was GSW, which tried to implement various "eco-buildings" together for the first time in a larger residential area (such as: solar orientation of the buildings, rainwater concept, building materials). For the (realised) construction phase, subsidies for social housing were granted ("social housing"). Hopefully started in 1994 under the title "Gartenhofstadt Brosepark", the project got caught up in the housing demand in Berlin that began in the mid-1990s (migration out of Berlin), so that the southeastern construction section was later redesigned into semi-detached houses, and the western section still lies fallow. However, the northeastern part, which was realized according to the original concept, is worth seeing. |

| Urban planning, architecture | ||
| Urban planning | Inner-city living with predominantly south-facing row buildings. The different position of the buildings results in a slightly different character of the courtyards. | |
| Architecture | Apartment building rows; "solar-integrated urban development", the buildings are south-facing (4-storey), or west-facing (5-storey); | |
| Materials construction | conventional, plaster buildings; upper floors (4th - 5th) set off by planking | |
| One of the buildings is designed to be particularly ecological: Interior ceilings and walls partly wood, clay plaster, wall surface heating | ||
| Energy | At the time, this was the largest roof-integrated solar power system with 145 kWp on residential buildings in Europe. Details of the Photovoltaic system |
|
| Sewage Technology | Partial use of water-saving toilets (50 % water savings); | |
| Stormwater is conveyed to the eastern edge of the completed development in an open "creek" to a pre-existing ditch south of the development. | ||
| Free space | ||
| Front yard | Distance green | |
| Garden | Terrace for ground floor apartments, partly terraced with gabions in relation to the surroundings | |
| Settlement free space | at the eastern edge continuous path axis, parallel to the rainwater stream; connects playgrounds with each other | |
| Playground | Playground in every courtyard, large playground on the southern edge, facing the moat | |
| Pitches | free, in the courtyards, partly under pergola | |
| Street | asphalt; Paths in the open space half paved/half water-bound surface |
