The central motif of the project "Wohnen am Rhiemsweg", completed in 2017, is the creation of a residential quarter whose clarity is based on Hanseatic traditions. The result is a quiet brick ensemble with classic façade proportions with horizontal embossing.

In materiality, colour and texture, the facades take up the brick architecture of the surroundings and receive rhythm and plasticity through the cut loggias or balconies.

The existing single-storey buildings were replaced by two staggered four-storey structures, which serve as a spatial conclusion to the northern open space at the edge of the settlement. The differentiated staggered storeys additionally structure the volumes in a moderate way. The existing settlement structure was continued and the tree population that characterises the location was preserved.

The design adopted the granularity of the surroundings and corresponds with the adjacent buildings to the south.
