Description
- The project consists of thirty uniquely designed single-family houses built on a hillside, surrounded by a forest on two sides.
- A communal house of approximately 100 m² is accessible to all residents.
- The area is pedestrian-only, with narrow paved sidewalks, ensuring a car-free environment for residents.
- The city administration sold the property with the condition of developing thirty residential units.
- The project involves architects and a construction company, with weekly meetings to discuss the ecological, social, and urban planning concepts.
- The project faced challenges, such as the developer's insolvency, leading residents to complete the project through personal contributions and solidarity-based financing.
- The architects created a balance between private, semi-public, and public spaces within the settlement, supporting both privacy and community interaction.
- The design aims to bridge the gap between rural and urban living, allowing for a high quality of life while maintaining a close-knit community atmosphere.
- Most residents were motivated by factors like purchase price, location, quality of life, and changing family situations, rather than strictly ecological considerations.
- High quality of life, community activities, and a strong sense of solidarity among residents have been key to overall satisfaction with the living arrangement.
- Residents actively engage in various communal activities, which helps to reinforce social bonds and maintain a strong sense of community.
- Solidarity-based practices like shared work during construction play an important role in building a close-knit community.
- Voluntary participation in group activities is emphasized, ensuring continuous interaction and exchange among the residents.
