Our competition entry “Sonnleiten” – a residential expansion zone in Terenten (IT) was awarded with the 1st prize.
The residential expansion zone is a settlement structure consisting of several individual buildings connected to each other through clever use of the topography.
The project envisages one house in the western building area, while in the middle part with a slope of up to 80%, no building is planned for economic reasons. The total possible building mass in the eastern area is divided among several individual houses.
Instead of a costly development of a steep slope for relatively little usable living space, we propose a loose mixed forest. In addition to considerable microclimatic and geotechnical advantages, it can be used as a youth playground for the neighbourhood. A gift for Terenten, so to speak!
Together with Bergmeister.
