1st Prize | Luisenhöfe

Aachen

In collaboration with Hector3

The scheme take up existing urban imprint and further extends it. The main access route spans from Mariabrunnstrasse towards the bunker. The resulting urban arrangement is formed by the space between the Werkshof and the Kastanienhof. There will be a transition between public and semi-private space.

The residential buildings will be accessed via the public roads. This arrangement results in protected and private spaces that will encourage people to spend time there.

An urban scheme is emerging that will be easily recognisable, with its own distinctive character within the neighbourhood.
