Neue Stadtmitte Stockdorf

Concept

The competition site along the Würm River represents an important element within Stockdorf’s urban fabric, contributing to the completion of the town structure and enhancing public connectivity. Despite a high urban density, the new neighborhood development integrates harmoniously into the existing context.

With its strong atmosphere and high-quality open spaces, the Würm Valley landscape becomes an identity-shaping and connecting feature of the new development. It forms the ecological heart of the green spaces and offers diverse opportunities for use, recreation, and gathering by the water. To ensure openness and permeability while maximizing residential quality, most commercial buildings are concentrated along Gautinger Straße, forming a strong, urban address. Towards the riverside, the building structure gradually dissolves and opens up, creating a seamless transition into the surrounding landscape.

From the jury’s assessment:

The overall urban concept, in combination with the open spaces, creates an attractive, mixed-use quarter with convincingly arranged functions. The selected building typologies also allow for flexibility in response to changing future demands.
The buildings, kept simple in their structural layout, are embedded in a network of open spaces of various sizes and uses, offering a particularly attractive setting along the Würm. The articulation of the buildings along Gautinger street breaks up the frontage and, together with planted green forecourts, integrates well into the surrounding environment.
