area and ground modelling. Furthermore, priority was given to
identity-creating measures for the accommodation. The housing
blocks from two buildings, sitting in a row and slightly misaligned,
are equipped with two doorways and, parallel to the building, made
accessible via a path. These connections, all of which are within
walking distance, run between the two neighbouring streets.
The main entrance function for the housing estate has been consciously
strengthened. This has been carried out in the form of a
“gate”, a steel framework construction with an integrated house number.
Specifically, steel spotlights emphasise the “entrée” situation in
the dark by illuminating the entrance area. This accentuation of the
respective doorways supports the formation of identity in the flats and
counteracts the previous subliminal, deep-rooted de-personalisation.
Individuality of the single blocks was developed using selective measures.
Therefore, linear access routes were created. In particular,
alongside the path, in the entrance areas, random wall seating areas
made from shell limestone ashlars invite people to chat and take
a break. In front of each entrance, specially-designed paved areas in
square block shapes have been created. These are colour-coordinated
to Studio von Garnier’s concept for the facade and roof. Stele light fixtures
along the paths provide lighting and security at night time.
The masses of soil which had accumulated at the parking area
were used around the individual blocks for plateau formation. The
created plateaux appear to be accentuated, utilisable lawns – the
graduating slope was planted with woody ground covers.Modelling
and planting are reminiscent of a vineyard.The areas to be used by
residents have expanded considerably because of these measures.
They now allow the possibility to play and do sports such as badminton
or pétanque (boules). In addition, the newly-created lawn

Die Farbakzentuierung der Gebäude wird bei der Gestaltung
der Außenanlagen in Form von Pflanzbändern aus Stauden
und Hecken weitergeführt. So ist im Hauseingangsbereich eine
Bepflanzung aus Stauden (Purpurglöckchen / Heuchera)
hausseitig und Rosen (hinterpflanzt mit Rotbuchen) böschungsseitig
entstanden. Einzelne der identitätsstiftenden
Corten Stahlelemente an den Erschließungswegen sind mit
Blauregen berankt.
Entlang der beiden quartierserschließenden Straßen begrenzt

80 entstandenen Stellplätze. Die Straßen haben darüber hinaus
einen Alleecharakter erhalten.

Fertigstellung 2011 geplant –
Vorzeigekonzept für Großwohnsiedlungen
Die Umsetzung des Wohnumfeldkonzepts für den 2. Bauabschnitt
begann im Frühjahr 2010. Die Fertigstellung des
3. und letzten Bauabschnitts wird im Jahresverlauf 2011
erfolgen. Das umgesetzte landschaftsarchitektonische Konzept
bietet sich als abwechslungsreiche Idee für sanierungsbedürftige
Großwohnsiedlungen mit Blockbebauung
in Hanglage an. Dabei stehen Identitätsstiftung, Raumnutzung
und abwechslungsreich gestaltete Eingangsbereiche
im Vordergrund. Das Aufgreifen und Weiterführen der
Farbkonzeption der Gebäude verdeutlicht die konzeptionelle
Besonderheit des vorliegenden Projektes.

plateaux and the graduating slope clearly brought down the expenditure
costs for maintaining the areas and reduced maintenance costs.
The colour accentuation of the building is continued with the design
of the outdoor facilities in the form of bands of plants, shrubs and
hedges. Therefore in the entrance area of the house, shrubs (alum
roots/genus Heuchera) at the side of the building and roses (planted
with copper beech) at the side of the slope were planted. Wisteria entwines
around individual parts of the identity-creating weathering
steel elements along the access routes. Along both streets neighbouring
the housing development, Royal Red Maple trees - as a new distinctive
tree of the apartments - border the 80 parking spaces that
have been created. Moreover, the streets have obtained a boulevardlike
character. The new residential collection stations for waste
disposal, enclosed by copper beech trees, can be found, past the
restructured areas, in the entrance area next to the“gates”.
Completion planned for 2011 – Showpiece concept
for large housing estates
The implementation of the residential area concept for the second construction
phase began in spring 2010. The third and final construction
stage will be completed in the course of 2011. The implemented landscapearchitectural
concept presents itself as a varied idea for large housing estates
with a perimeter block development on a hillside location in need of
renovation. Priority is given to building a sense of identity, land management
and various designs of entrance areas. The acquisition and continuation
of the colour conception of the building clarifies the conceptual
feature of the present project.
