Evaluation: “With this urban planning successful densification of a heterogeneous environment, four compact buildings form communities with owner-occupied and rental apartments, as well as an inclusive residential project. The individual buildings allow beautiful views through and foresight due to their arrangement. Red clinker dominates the elaborately designed facades, emphasizes the clear cubic form of the houses and corresponds to the surrounding buildings. The architects demonstrate the clinker brick as an ornament by means of coffered brick panels set in an even frame structure.”
