Lindenviertel

Concept

Based on compact typologies, each accommodating four residential units of varying sizes within a single building volume, the new neighbourhood is organized into two “micro-neighbourhoods.” At their center, they frame an Anger-like open space, serving as the social and spatial core of the quarter.

These two micro-neighborhoods integrate the five existing prefab buildings and each enclose a shared green space (semi-private courtyards), directly connected to the surrounding open landscape.
In this way, a cohesive neighbourhood emerges, uniting both existing and new buildings. A community house is centrally located at the heart of the quarter.

The proposed housing typologies translate the guiding urban design principle — the synthesis of urban and rural qualities — into architectural form. Four residential units are combined into a single, compact building volume. In essence:
Four “single-family houses” form one shared structure. This approach merges the advantages of defined addresses — with the benefits of urban density: efficient land use, reduced resource consumption, proximity to urban amenities, and the potential for strong community ties.

The result is a typological hybrid that bridges the gap between the individual character of rural housing and the spatial efficiency and connectivity of urban living — creating a sustainable and future-oriented model for residential development.
