A new urban quarter is under construction in the southeast of Neu-Ulm on a former military site. It is part of the model project “efficient construction – affordable housing” of the Supreme Bavarian Building Authority. Within a form resembling a double cross in plan, a longitudinal building volume features 40 social housing units, complemented by two lateral, intersecting building parts. The filigree volume responds to the surrounding heterogeneous context and the existing green space, emphasized by the airy balconies and the raised lateral building parts.
