Living at Possmoorweg, Hamburg-Winterhude , 2024, 2nd prize
The site on the Goldbekkanal is characterized by the surrounding closed block structure and open row development towards the canal. The design takes up these typologies and uses them to develop our urban planning approach of street-side heads anchored on Poßmoorweg, which extend like rows into the depths of the site and form private courtyards. The end points facing the canal are occupied by high points that enrich the silhouette along the Goldbek Canal. During the first construction phase, only the head-end buildings will be built in order to maintain the social and open space offerings on the remaining plot - in addition to the construction site facilities for the light rail extension. With the completion of the second construction phase, these uses will find a new location on the site. The open riverbank zone will be designed as a public green space with a centrally located construction playground. A riverside path makes it possible to experience the Goldbekufer natural area and links the site with the neighborhood. Particular attention is being paid to the preservation and further development of the existing green structures and the renaturation of the riverbank.
