Description

    Community Transformation

     

  • A high-density neighborhood with a focus on affordable housing and community was born from an urban planning competition.
  • Diakonie Stetten's 70-year history of providing care at Hangweide is transitioning into a more diverse and inclusive neighborhood.
  • Abandoned buildings are replaced by an urban village that blends urban and rural living qualities while maintaining the site's historical significance.
  •  

    Spatial Design

     

  • The site is divided into three areas, featuring multi-floor timber-frame buildings arranged around planted neighborhood courtyards.
  • A wheelchair-accessible village promenade connects the community to a centrally located square, Egelseeplatz.
  • The design integrates water features by reactivating the former canal to the old oil mill.
  •  

    Spatial Identity and Diversity

     

  • A lake surrounded by trees forms the heart of the neighborhood.
  • Key communal spaces: the farm shop and café .
  • The project divides the area into three sub-areas, each with unique characteristics connected by green spaces, while a central square-like area serves as the natural center, linking existing buildings and the "green gap."
  •  

    Traffic Management

     

  • Essential public facilities are concentrated in the central square to aid in the area's revitalization.
  • Two neighborhood garages are strategically placed at entrances to ensure effective traffic management and reduce congestion within the neighborhood.
  •  

    Architectural Diversity and Integration

     

  • The project achieves architectural diversity through a variety of building typologies and placements.
  • The integration of the "Anna-Kaiser House" furnishings into the new development provides a  link between the old and new elements of the neighborhood.
