Housing Estate Containing 18 Single-family Houses

In Frankfurt’s Riedberg district, a lively, urban neighborhood is being developed with a university, schools / kindergartens and very good transport links to the city center of Frankfurt am Main.

For an investor, we planned 12 single-family houses as semi-detached houses and 6 detached single-family houses using the design-and-build method.

The house type has 2.5 floors, a staggered roof with an attractive sun terrace on the upper floor, a basement and is built from sand-lime bricks in a solid construction. Due to the floor-to-ceiling windows, all rooms are flooded with light. Inside, the house type offers clear simple floor plans with an optimal division of the premises. The modern urban single-family house type is tailored to the market of modern urban residential architecture.

House-Evolucio, The Architect House for Everyone

Innovative living concept in modular construction

• Flexible: minimal tiny house or spacious Loft house character and pre-planned interfaces for easy architecture changes according to individual needs;
• Environmentally friendly: minimal ecological footprint
• Cost-effective: modular construction and architectural-grade materials for cost-effective construction
• Flood-proof: elevation for safety in flood-prone areas

House EVOLUCIO is a flexible, growth-capable and intergenerational housing concept that combines living and working in the city.

The distinctive architecture is able to structurally adapt to the changing needs of its residents without changing the basic architectural concept. Flexibility in floor plan design and planning of the individually separable apartments as well as barrier-free accessibility are planning principles that create the conditions that allow for the house to be able to adapt equally to the individual requirements and needs of different generations and life situations. The consistent architectural concept enables a cost-effective realization without compromising quality.

Architectural design for new Luxury restaurant and hotel building, Postplatz Dresden

The purpose planned here is a special inspiration for architectural creation. To create a house for a real day and night cycle is tantamount to a homage to the self. A house which includes a bistro with a lively morning café and “nightlife” that celebrates everyday life, that can benefit from the street flair of a sunny piazza and has the special magic of a sophisticated evening restaurant, possibly world-class, is a building that captures the rhythms of life and “talks” to the sun and the moon. Food and the preparation and transformation of food with simple ingredients into unforgettable moments of pleasure have parallels with high quality architecture, also created with imagination and attention to detail.

Moreover, the 360-degree concept makes it possible to face, at eye level, all the neighboring buildings and squares – to the theater opposite, to the piazza on the south side, to the façade side facing the Zwinger (with the large eye positioned in the center and the roof terrace with gallery) or to the entrance facing the Postplatz. The building acts outwardly with a generous gesture of openness and friendly invitation.

Frankfurt Riedberg

Architectural study for the development of a new residential area in Frankfurt am Main

In dialogue with the project developer of the Frankfurt-Riedberg district, the Hessen-Agentur, we have developed detached single-family houses with a contemporary architectural language based on our Haus Evolucio residential concept for the Henning-von-Tresckow-Strasse residential site.

The different housing types in three variants (elevated, gable roof and staggered roof) are designed to meet different target groups and situations of use with different floor plans. The basic system can be variably equipped in different desired levels: a house type for everyone.

The Loft house character enables a high architectural quality at an affordable price, as fast construction methods are optimally combined with building craftsmanship qualities from a growing basic system.

The houses offer clear, simple floor plans with optimal division of space. To emphasize the loft character and for a cost-effective as well as high-quality architecture, all lines (electrical, water) can optionally be laid visibly on plaster. The story ceilings can be left partially open and the resulting air spaces with continuous visual axes from the ground floor to the roof can be closed later if required.

The user also has the option of selecting the desired number, type, size and shape of windows. The exterior facade can be partially clad with masonry, faced with wood or suitable metal, or plastered as desired. The interior walls are made of lightweight construction and can be easily moved as needed, if the room layout changes according to user preferences.

Architectural Study for the Development Plan

“Living in the city center” and “living in the countryside” are not opposites. On the area of the former Bramsch site, 33 individual townhouses are being built for private developers. With its flexible modular principle, Haus EVOLUCIO ideally fulfills the wishes of individual clients without neglecting what the development plan and the green location near the Elbe in the middle of the city place would require for future development. Sophisticated urban architecture satisfies the demands of urban living within green surroundings.

On behalf of the property owner TLG and in coordination with the city planning office, we have designed possible house models:

Floor area: rectangular or square

Floors: two- or three-storied

Floor plans: flexible

Energy: low energy house or passive house

Flood protection: elevated concept

Flat roof: extensive greening or solar roof, optional: roof terrace
