Les Lignes

Proposing a residential tower in a peri-urban area of France brings many challenges. The site—between a highway, the Seine, a power plant, and an industrial factory—is flood-prone and reflects the legacy of 1960s–70s housing estates.

Pergolenviertel

The Pergolenviertel describes the „block in the green“ in the urban environment between Hamburg‘s City Nord and Barmbek. The static blocks, which open up to nature with passages in the form of round arches, sit in the green space originally used as an allotment settlement, which flows through and shapes the new quarter.
