With two to three upper storeys each and predominantly staggered storeys, the row of buildings presents itself with a lively mix of shapes and subtle surface accents. Buildings 1, 8, 17 and 25 were realised according to designs by TCHOBAN VOSS Architekten.

Two building types form the four houses completed at different positions in this row, one each in a basic and mirrored arrangement. Both designs work with protruding and recessed volumes, with the shifts developing from the floor plans in each case.

Spacious loggias, roof terraces and galleries offer residents a variety of places to spend time with a high spatial quality.

With high-quality and sustainable materials that characterise the local area, such as clinker brick and wood, as well as variable floor plans, the townhouses offer a timeless and intergenerational form of living.
