01 · Challenge
What needed to be solved
Connect the street-facing and courtyard buildings into a functional residential ensemble with shared access, parking for 24 apartments and phased construction.
02 · Scope
Design decision
The street-facing building has a ground floor, three upper floors and a recessed top floor (P+3+Ps). Designed as part of a continuous street frontage, it contains 14 apartments. The ground floor accommodates the garage, entrance circulation and technical rooms. The three upper floors contain 1.5-room and 2.5-room apartments, while the recessed floor contains two 3.5-room apartments. Terraces and the recessed top floor shape the building volume, above which a green roof is planned. The courtyard building has a ground floor, two upper floors and a mansard level (P+2+Mans), containing 10 apartments. The ground floor accommodates garage spaces, communal areas and technical rooms. The first and second floors contain 1.5-room apartments, and the mansard level contains two 3.5-room apartments. Access is provided through a passage in the street-facing building and across the interior of the plot.
03 · Result
What the design enables
Both buildings are designed with lifts and staircases. The ensemble provides 24 parking and garage spaces, including parking platforms and two spaces for people with disabilities.
