23 cooperative flats and 1 communal space around a communal courtyard

The compact village structure typical of South Tyrol was adopted: five houses are grouped around a common green inner courtyard, as one knows it from hamlets or the so called Anger. The buildings are restrained and simple in form and expression. Diversity is created in the variation of the openings; room-high windows and structured ceiling bands structure the facades. Prefabricated and exposed concrete elements in warm earthy tones give the complex a sculptural character. The future residents were involved in the planning from the very beginning through a comprehensive participatory process.
