Konrad Adenauer Platz is a highly frequented plaza located in front of Düsseldorf station, and crossed by countless travellers, day-in, day-out. This elongated space runs adjacent to the similarly elongated station building. The design emphasizes this length with a row of trees running along the facade. This will bring a sense of order to the space, further underscored by the slender bus stops roofs, shaped like leaves.

Here the external landscaping has been adapted in response to the local building tradition. Regional fruit tree varieties and the deciduous trees typical of the Black Forest are elements that link in with the existing landscape.

With the traditional architecture the continuation of landscape has been provided by green car parking surfaces and linear tree design on the east side of the area. Providing a smooth transition from a car free forecourt to a terrace, the open space is designed without interaction.
While the front yard welcomes visitors with benches and trees the backyard of the area provides different activities and programs to users from different age groups and interest while zoning from passive usage and high usage.

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.

To the north of the site, existing woodland encroaches onto the new district and weaves the new residential area into the surrounding urban landscape. An extensive area of non-sealed surfaces has been created, creating generous areas of meadows. The dynamic and architectural design elements present in the children’s day-care building are mirrored in the landscaping. By emphasizing the topography of the site, diverse spaces are created where children can play and run around.
