Project description
During my Master’s project, which spanned a whole year, we focused intensively on residential construction. The challenge in Bad Kreuznach was to integrate the multi-storey residential building seamlessly into the existing structure. Our project had the clear aim of ensuring the sensible use of a plot of land whilst creating a harmonious connection with the existing surroundings. In my approach to this year-long project, I pursued the idea of designing a multi-storey residential building using an innovative timber-concrete hybrid construction method. The focus was on flexible floor plans that offer residents the opportunity to expand or downsize their flats as required. Another important aspect was the creation of a communal space for the residents of a block of flats to promote community life and social interaction.
