Biography
Our proposal for the site in Sudstadt, Nuernberg re-imagines the traditional residential city block in Europe, as a versatile location that promotes integration, connectivity and social interaction, while offering more inviting public spaces to the urban ecology. The new structure offers a contemporary typology in the urban city block for the new Europe, where diverse lifestyles and cultures are encouraged to be celebrated and embraced; increasing great value to the evolving city. Instead of closing off the green space and eliminating public space by building the residential apartments on the periphery, we are strategically opening the block and amalgamate it with the rest of the city.
The new connections, pathways, promenades and public spaces offer formal and informal temporal events, playgrounds, communal farming and exhibit spaces. These new engaging activities will reinvigorate life into the existing district, and add regional value and integrity. The new housing ill create mutual work and common spaces on the ground floor, where residents can host country thematic consultations, classes and discourses to the city and nearby municipalities of Nurnberg. This will complement the existing professional development classes offered by the Sudpunkt.
To accommodate for various lifestyles, new co-housing typologies were created for residents to share common areas, such as kitchen, dining, living, and workspaces. The pliable floor plans adjust with ease for the interchanging demographic. Apartment layouts come with various room options, satisfying any personal preference. The diversity of events and culture will help generate a new quality of life for the district, turning it as an attractive and prosperous hub. Flexibility and adaptability are essential for the success of this new residential and cultural center.
