Master plan for a mixed-use quarter with a focus on innovative forms of living and working
A new urban quarter is to be created on the site of the former municipal slaughterhouse. The expansive open void, which has already been activated by the first temporary uses, has enormous urban and creative potential and must be preserved. A frame in the form of a compacted block edge is laid around the experimental area in a small-scale, step-by step development. Through a variety of mixed building typologies, living and working are connected in a new way. As part of the urban planning competition “Neu Marx – create together” five teams of architects were selected from across Europe to design the area and attract diverse user groups. MakerSpace Neu Marx is a breeding ground for ideas, a place for innovation, urban production, creativity, technology and knowledge transfer. This new quarter brings together established companies, startups, residents and visitors alike.

New development of a mixed-use quarter: On the site of the former Esso Houses on Hamburg’s Spielbudenplatz, a small-scale mixture of residential, hotel, commercial and subcultural space is to be created for the St. Pauli district. The “St. Pauli Code”, which forms the basis for the planning process, was developed within the framework of a major citizens participation. BeL + NL architects were able to win the urban planning competition. On this basis, the area was divided into five building plots for the subsequent building competition. feld72 is responsible for the planning of building plot 2 and 5.
Building plot 2: Subculture Cluster – hostel, skater roof, club, bar and offices. The building is prominently positioned at the corner between Spielbudenplatz and the new neighbourhood street. On the roof of the building structure, the skater roof creates a consumptionfree, publicly accessible open space, which is connected via a bridge to the variously programmed roofscape of the other building plots. Users of the former Esso houses (Kogge und Molotow) are given space again on this building site.
Building plot 5: On this building site, the focus is on community living in overlap with subcultural, neighbourhood-related, social uses. Accompanying the neighbourhood street, the block development forms an urban base with the music cluster (studios) in the basement, the district canteen with outdoor area, the FabLab and a feminist sex shop on the ground floor. The 1st floor houses a social counselling office and an event room. On the floors above, the Baugruppe offers a varied range of living space with spacious, communal rooms and roof terraces.

Event house with 60 apartments
Together with trans_city, we planned 5 buildings – an urban ensemble with high density and generous permeability at the Schanze. Our “Urban Hybrid” – sets a significant prelude to the new quarter with its robust building structure. The city block focuses on cooperative living and working and offers flexibly adaptable spaces for this purpose. The active ground floor zone is understood as a space for exchange within the block. A wide range of apartment types (58 in total), from micro-apartments to studio apartments, is speaking to an urban audience outside traditional family structures and to self-employed people working in cooperative networks – such as microbusinesses. The building structure of “the Event House” and the 2.8m ceiling height allows a high degree of flexibility of use and resilience.

Masterplan for a new residential area
A sustainable and innovative model quarter for Constance is to be built on the site of the so-called “Christiani Wiesen”. The goal for the development of the new neighbourhood is to combine a high quality of living with increased space efficiency. The design focuses on six central themes: Sharing and service, social mix and mixed use, urban mobility (car-free neighbourhood with a convertible car park), climate and ecological quality, smart living (digitalisation concept with smart city solutions) and urban production.
