Suhr stream

The site planning disposition reacts specifically to the different relationship potentials of the area with its surroundings. It forms a spatial prelude to Tramstrasse and solves the problem of noise for the apartments above by means of a recessed structure and small businesses on the ground floor. The settlement opens up to the green slow traffic area along the city stream and offers an open space around a shed for residents and the neighbourhood. And at the back of the Dorfstrasse, the gardens blend into the street scene. The buildings, designed in mixed construction, stand at right angles to the city stream, analogous to the early development typology of the area, so that visual references open up through the green spaces of the settlement and from Tramstrasse to Bachstrasse. While the building at Tramstrasse 21 tends to have smaller apartments, the 52 condominiums are embedded in the diverse green spaces, to which they each have a direct connection – be it through gardens or generous balconies, which blur the boundaries between inside and outside.
