Goals of the Course: „Architecture puts its program in a clarified relationship to the local context.“ The task is to design a holiday house (four residents) with the usual basic functions, which stages the daily routines

while offering an exceptional architectural experience.

Next to functional aspects, the focus is primarily on how the house profiles itself due to its construction, spatial qualities, orientations and its appearance with the peculiarity

of its outstanding location, the hillside, which identity it develops from this as a building and what makes clear that the building belongs into this remote location and nowhere else.

Design Concept: The focus was to implement the exceptional location into daily actions by creating visual references (2) and gently pushing its users to experience nature‘s forces. Another factor was the hillside which the house deals with. In place of leveling the site, the slope becomes part of it. Instead of creating artificial walls, the roof is settled right on the hill — hedonistic sustainability.

Instead of squeezing everything under one roof, it is divided and equalized. The four roofs form a unity nestling into the slope (3). Each house fulfills a curated purpose. This segmentation brings a variety of benefits to its inhabitants.

The most significant is the expansion of the inside through the terraces in between the houses (7b).

7c

The opaque sliding doors are the lower stories’ only barriers (6,7c). When moved to the side, there’s no distinction between inside and outside.

The little spaces interconnect with the outside space they surround.

What looks like a tiny house on paper becomes almost doubled in reality. It generates fascinating visual references (6) and a clear separation between private (5) and shared (4) spaces.

Goals of the Course: The desperate need for sustainable social housing sets the virtual foundation stone for this project.

The task is to design a modular social housing complex for the city of Dusseldorf. Its primary building material is supposed to be serial produced mass timber.

Social Housing in urban areas

Dusseldorf, Germany location residential / public typology 5900 size m²

Timberyard / 17

Design Concept: Located in Dusseldorf's neighbourhood of Wersten, the 5900 m² complex with its marketplace and public walkway is reminiscent of the typical courtyard typology.

Timberyard offers 36 affordable homes, a combined public rooftop and walkway, and a meeting point with its public courtyard marketplace.

The perimeter block is lifted towards the access street leading to Dusseldorf centre, bringing daylight into the lowered courtyard and forming a welcoming gesture for everyone passing by.

Inviting neighbours and visitors to take the spiralling walkway/ bicycle lane to meet up and shop for locally grown vegetables in the heart of the buildings, followed by a walk on the circular rooftop garden, which can be entered via one of the five cores.

The dismantlable hybrid construction fusing the worlds of concrete and timber architecture receives wide-open floorplans that lead to different apartment typologies.

Timberyards' modular construction system contributes to fast on-site construction time, meaning a higher cost efficiency resulting in affordable rents.

The facade is a modular system out of curved panels and triple glazing. Towards the courtyard, these elements cantilever at three different distances, extending the living area, creating terraces, constructive sun protection and facade greenery.

Team LOCAL+'s concept: In response to today's challenges, such as climate change, scarcity of resources, urbanisation, and a growing and ageing population, LOCAL+ aims to promote a flexible, sustainable and socially responsible housing solution that keeps pace with the constant changes in everyday life.

For this purpose, the team has chosen a building gap (2) in the Mirke Quarter (Wuppertal, GER) as the setting. Here, in addition to social differences, age variatons, in particular, play a key role. To promote social inter­ action, the team has developed a living concept for (temporarily) single people like newcomers, students or pensioners who want to

be part of a community.

To support social interaction, the building design is based on keeping individual space to a minimum and thereby offering larger communal areas.

A high degree of flexibility allows an innovative living concept that adapts to the individual needs of a diverse group of residents.

LOCAL+ / SDE 21-22 / 25

design challenge (dc) In addition to social interaction, LOCAL+ aims to create a building that innovatively and intelligently adopts new approaches to energy and sustainability. A clever combination of different means of generating, storing and using energy enables two-thirds of the building's energy needs to be covered.

homeoffice

Furthermore, the circularity of the building is increased by an efficient and sufficient choice of materials and detachable construction. In this way, the goal of reducing the carbon footprint and planning and building to conserve resources is achieved.

party

The building was designed to transfer the concept to other urban situations, thus serving as a prototype for closing gaps and vacancies or new buildings.

Areas of responsibility: Concepts, research, architectural designs, teams BIM Manager, knowledge sharing, production of graphic and written documents in english, relations with partners and sponsors, construction of a 110 m² habitable prototype, public tours, presentations, interviews.

DC concept: While the basement, the ground floor, and the attached garden offer communal areas for the entire house. The four upper floors each form a shared apartment for three roommates.

On about 60m2, they share a bathroom, a pantry-kitchen and a flexible communal area that is constantly changed by the Cubes.

Cube Concept: The Cube was invented to show a contrary traditional rooms. The room units are a central design aspect and architectural innovation since they are fully movable!

They create spatial diversity by permitting adaptable zoning of rooms (3) but mainly serve as personal retreats and workspaces.

isometry / cubes sitting niche

Their minimised size puts interaction, communication and communal living in the spotlight and reduces the living space used per person.

The cubes are movable rooms with floors, ceilings, and walls that can be moved around the room by hand using rollers. On the one hand, they function as a space-creating element, and on the other hand, they can be moved to create various spatial boundaries and thus meet the temporary needs of a daily routine.

With the help of furniture attachable to the cube outside, varying situations in everyday life can be represented. The season and the daily position of the sun will consciously influence the movement of the cubes because the residents will get more quality out of the given spaces through the cubes.

design translation (4)

HDU concept: The house demonstration unit is the translation of the design challenge into an exhibition architecture. While the lower floor combines the communal living room and the kit­ chen, the upper floor represents one of the four shared apartments of the DC. The demonstrator (hdu), which consists of ten solid timber modules, was built with mostly detachable, reusable and ecofriendly materials and construction methods. The facade picks up on the photovoltaic panels, the wood cladding as well as the plant elements of the design challenge.

In addition, the two outer walls with an air-clea­ ning textile reflect the neighbouring walls of the building gap. Finally, the energy concept with the PVT panels, the heat pump, the ice storage and the heating/cooling ceiling were also adapted.
