On the site of a former coffee roaster, landscape design creates a common ground for the heterogeneous architecture and contributes mainly to generating offers for identification. The geometrical basic grid of a continuous structure of belts connects the different buildings and their uses. The plants become the atmospheric and space-building elements of the quarter. They represent the human scale within the extensive area and at the foot of the high-rise building. They generate a link towards the natural elements of the region and of the location – wind and water – and strengthen their perceptibility within the urban context. Alongside the river Weser, a terraced stair-case invites to sunbathing – the terraces can also be used as “lounges” for the adjacent gastronomy or as a stage for events.

Material Used :
The paved surfaces, finished with natural stone, and the paths between the architectural grass fields follow a coherent layout, which promotes the readability of the exterior spaces. The subspaces are accentuated and ordered by contrasting light-coloured granite and dark basalt paving stones. A sequence of daffodils, foxtail lilies and Eulalia grass (Miscanthus) defines the colours and the scent of the planted areas. This makes the quarter in its entirety a prestigious garden that is marked by its alternating appearances after having grown or having been trimmed and reveals different spatial impressions in every season.
