The residential development for the STADT UND LAND became one of the first new construction projects for Berlins housing coops. The building is a hybrid of parallel concrete walls and a highly insulated wooden façade construction of fibre cement panels and horizontal powder-coated metal sheets. It demonstrates that innovative construction, design standards and cost-effective construction for public housing are possible. On the property of STADT UND LAND, 62 two- to four-room apartments with a total living space of 4,414 m² have been built in two sections. The accesses via 8 entrances form familiar neighbourhoods. All apartments are extended from front to back with one side facing the village green and the other towards the garden. The resulting living spaces are neutral in terms of its utilisation. Living and sleeping rooms are located either at the loggias in the southwest facing the village green or at the garden on the northeast side. A mix of different apartment sizes is offered at each staircase. The tenants' gardens are located on top of the underground car park slightly elevated above the community garden. Thanks to the good cooperation between the client and the architects, it was possible blaze new traits for public housing. The open floor plans and clarity of surface materials led to cost savings, which could be invested in a high-quality facade construction.
