Uhlenhorst Estate, Berlin
‘densification’, ‘affordable housing’ and ‘special types of housing’
New space programs (“Ergänzer”) for individual as well as communal living are integrated into a ‘Zeilenbau’-estate from the 1960s. Mini apartments, residential groups, office spaces and care rooms create holistic living spaces through the connection with the existing monofunctional housing estate. In addition, there are so-called ‘green rows’ (“Grünzeilen”), which accommodate a multifunctional space, guest houses, stores, workshops, kitchens, playgrounds and gardens.
