Project status: Competition closed

The development Gämsenberg in Ludwigsburg proves that private housing and density do not contradict each other. Structured as an “urban village”, its ten houses are placed in a staggered chessboard-pattern. By way of angulation and terraces, the buildings, set on a slope, provide all 110 apartments with a view of the Neckar Valley. The new residential area is marked by compact urban planning, with a vivacious interplay of narrow alleyways and generous, semi-public open spaces. It shows how urban sprawl can be minimized through a precise layout.
