Description

    Inspiration from Historical Context

     

  • The design draws inspiration from the historical village character of Derendingen, located near central Tübingen.
  • The development studies traditional farm typologies, aiming to establish a close connection with the existing village character.
  •  

    Urban Design Concepts

     

  • Proposes a car-free village street that connects 7 hof-clusters, each featuring shared courtyards.
  • Buildings are aligned to face the new street, forming an independent center that resembles a street village, a common feature in traditional village designs.
  • The design includes a variety of gable and eaves buildings, consistently designed with 3 stories plus an attic, with building heights stepped down towards the district road.
  •  

    Street Design and Connection

     

  • The new village street features fine-grain alignment of buildings.
  • A consistent connection is established from north to south, integrating the parish garden and central access points to enhance the walkability.
  • Underground parking is integrated into the slope of the site, allowing for terraced open spaces above, preserving the car-free character.
  •  

    Architectural Considerations

     

  • The project proposes flexible and modular floor plans, with particular attention to the attics.
  • Robust housing forms are located at the edges of the village, with smaller courtyard structures near the church.
  • Private apartments are oriented towards Siebe Höfe Straße, ensuring privacy and alignment with the surrounding landscape.
