English description provided by the architects.

At home in the city, in the country—A pioneering project that speaks of the harvests of everyday urban life.

In the transition zone between city and country, on a site in Munich's Freiham urban development area, a residential project has been completed that offers rooms for different intensities of communal living—from individual apartments to housing communities with shared living rooms, and to cluster apartments.

Five heterogeneous built volumes add up into a vital ensemble, which, differentiated as it is, will also be able in the future to adaptively respond to its local surroundings between urban integration and rural idyll.

Despite their differences in appearance, the buildings are unmistakably related and also share some architectural traits.

So, for example, they are all accessed over a footbridge—whether it is an access balcony or an overpass across a pedestrian path, or a network of interior circulation paths.

These lively circulation zones provide meeting areas and places of encounter while unfolding views across the estate.

Here, community rules. Here, diversity reigns. This is also evidenced by smaller apartment sizes, which were reduced in favor of community spaces or outdoor areas.

And the public sphere—from a wide orchard meadow to the classical enclosed town square—also reflects the diversity of the estate. What is in the making here is a town inside the city. A diverse microcosm with maximum connection with nature.

"We knew from a very early stage who would be living here. So we adapted the development plan to the community—not the other way around." Herwig Spiegl, Principal/Founding Partner at AllesWirdGut
