Structure + Contextual Integration

The design proposes a compact yet integrative built structure that complements the western part of Germering in a natural and self-evident way. A central park emerges as a defining element of spatial organization. It divides the new neighborhood into manageable units and ensures optimal connectivity through an integrated, soft mobility axis that extends well beyond the park—linking the open landscape to the west with the town center to the east. At the intersection of this mobility axis and the Starnberger Weg, a central square is proposed, featuring a grocery store, restaurants, a medical center, a primary school, and a daycare. This square becomes a new focal point for the entire district—one that only comes into being through the addition of the new neighborhood.

Urban Fabric + Typologies
The design is based on a network of small-scale courtyard clusters that promote community living. Stairwells with through-access activate shared courtyard spaces. A diverse mix of housing types, ownership, and financing models within each courtyard supports social inclusion. Variations in orientation and layout give each courtyard a distinct identity. Facing the park, taller standalone buildings (Punkthäuser) enhance the urban fabric.
