The present design for a new residential quarter with 79 residential units is located in the immediate vicinity of the centre of Sankt Radegund, south of the parish church. The settlement structure of the village is predominantly characterised by small-scale, detached buildings.
Due to the existing village structure, an urban structure was chosen that is small-scale and yet compatible with multi-storey buildings.
Along the main road, a two-storey development with an appropriate grain is positioned. Behind this, three-storey buildings are planned. Two buildings are located on the western slope and include an additional storey on the slope side.
Symmetrical pitched roofs are planned as the roof shape. The building site has a slope from north to south and thus creates the conditions for a residential building that hugs the slope and thus provides different entrance levels. In order to maintain the distance from the noisy main road, the individual houses are set back from the eastern boundary of the site and the visitor car parks are set forward.
Solid construction with a rendered facade was chosen as the construction method. The arrangement of the buildings varies in order to create a varied and exciting urban structure on the one hand and to ensure a shielding effect against the noise of road traffic on the other. A total of 12 buildings aligned north-south or east-west form this ensemble, creating a communal character and a neighbourhood square in the centre with generous open spaces and play areas for children. This encourages interaction between the residents and turns the neighbourhood square into a meeting place. A pedestrian thoroughfare connects the estate in a north-south and east-west direction.
Green space, outdoor facilities concept and community
The central communal area with play and exercise areas for children, as well as for meetings and encounters between residents, acts as a hub for all activities within the estate.
All flats are equipped with outdoor areas. The ground-floor flats have private green spaces, while all the flats on the floors above have covered balconies facing south and west.
The four houses in the southernmost part of the site also have a subordinate square, which acts as a community building for these houses.
