Attractive Density! 

PPAG architects as Architects

Building housing also means building the city. Here a whole neighborhood was created with the aim of bringing the individual human scale into harmony with urban density.

Buildings of various heights and depths stand on an artificial mountain. The car park, basement rooms, storage, technology, and rubbish vanish beneath it. Above, a sequence of public squares and passageways develops on different levels. With no cars. Additional infrastructure that supplements the housing is also located here. Character and intimacy arise within the large scale.

The differentiated, interconnected complex, which can be traversed on foot in multiple directions, is also inviting for users who do not live in the immediate buildings. Also, there are no front or rear sides: the surrounding neighborhoods are each offered a corresponding counterpart and accessibility. The diversity of the flats takes into account the needs of a pluralistic society. High housing satisfaction is the basis for all sustainability!
