Project development
|
"Design of a residential complex in social housing as a future 'ecological standard' " Planned by the SPD senate at the time as a standard for future housing development, the results achieved with this housing estate were not pursued further as a result of German reunification. |
Urban planning
|
Gap closure on vacant lot. The south-west orientation of the buildings (solar architecture) and the depth of the site (approx. 55 m, with a length of 190 m along the road) means that a further row of buildings must be developed through the front row at the rear. Urbanistically unexciting row along the road, which fits into the surrounding area of terraced houses, multi-storey housing, detached houses; at the rear of the site an allotment. |
Architecture
|
Along the street, three-storey row, interrupted several times; the individual structures are partly connected with winter gardens. At the rear of the front row, it becomes clear that the houses actually (in part) have "split-level layouts" (offset storeys). Some of the buildings, namely the head buildings which are offset in design, are also not terraced houses but multi-storey flats, with the 2nd floor flats accessed by an external staircase. The ground floor apartments are handicapped accessible. The houses in the second row are somewhat lower. Entrances basically on the north side or on passages, therefore extensive paths and stairs required. |

On the southwest sides of the houses, large wall-mounted solar collectors are integrated into the upper floors in an architecturally appealing way. |
Building Biology
|
Conventional, masonry, plastered; extensive roof vegetation (sedum) on the gable roofs with an inclination of approx. 35º, normal roof covering (concrete moulded stone, similar to roof tiles) on the offset head buildings. |
