DESIGN CONCEPT

The integration in the urban fabric
The integration in the grown urban fabric (lengthwise north-south orientation) gives the site a penetrability in that direction. That fact allows also to continues the green corridor for the area south of perfectastrasse along the subway


TYPOLOGY AND FINDING OF SHAPE
beside urbanistic aspects the orientation and clear form of the buildings allows to respond to the difficult general conditions (noise, electromagnetic field) of the site in a pragmatic way, If necessary also with special design features and arrangements in occupancy.

The clear composition of the buildings develops an interesting area between a high grad of individual und user-oriented structures inside und the façade outside, which shows the inner life. This structure-façade is a condition for the development of future settings, which must react to a lot of specific needs.

The design concept is based on a further development of the “anonym” high-rising apartment buildings to a individual residential housing. This includes the configuration of the spaces and the individual aspects of using the building.
The two typological similar buildings gets two different prioritise, according to their location on the site.
- Miscellaneous combinations of residential and working spaces. (BUILDING 1)
- Lifestyle orientated individual housing with specific shared facilities and public services. (BUILDING 2)

BUILDING 1 (beside U6 Subway Station):
RESIDENTIAL + WORKING
The flexibility of the building-structure enables the residential and working spaces to interlock and float into one another. The structure is kept open to be able to react to future settings. The orientation of the residential and office spaces is according to the general conditions on the site. The outstanding studio- and office lofts beside the subway are an ideal representation space.

BUILDING 2 (beside the residential area):
RESIDENTIAL + WELLNESS
The combination residential and wellness brings a lot of synergy effects for the “theme” shared facilities public services (like a gym, hot tub, sauna, spa, etc) in the front unit next to the Perfectastrasse. The hart of the construction is the several storeys high “lobby” with different shared facilities.
