Stadtkrone Ost

Dortmund

New houses are to be built on Stockholmer Allee in a beautifully landscaped area, preferably semi-detached houses or townhouses. We propose developing a new type of building here - two to three storeys, with four residential units, each with its own building access for maximum privacy/individuality. Both ground floor units have small, private patios where bicycles can be parked and other individual logistical issues can be dealt with. The upper floor units are accessed through a colorful front garden, each unit with differentiated open spaces - terraces or gardens - for individual use, supplemented by a garden for the house community in the south.

All residential units have views in all directions - the lounges always face east, west or south, never north. All entrances are on the north side. The cubature is reminiscent of day or night butterflies, which is why we call them “butterfly houses”. They are significant, with a U-shaped first floor as a base and elongated upper floors with an east/west orientation on top. The houses in the individual rows are offset from each other by the full width of the building. This means that each residential unit has a good view of the protected landscape.

The construction is very simple and easy to erect - monolithic, highly insulating masonry made of aerated concrete elements on the ground floor and first floor and a barrel roof made of preformed glulam trusses with a trapezoidal sheet metal substructure, mineral insulation and industrial roofing (KalZip).
