Karres en Brands wins first major architecture assignment in Germany
After an extensive international competition that saw 12 architecture offices compete for the design of plots within the Neue Gartenstadt Öjendorf neighborhood, Karres en Brands emerged as the winner of plot 2 with the proposal titled “Smiley. Fully built, the plot will include 145 apartments and 38 rowhouses all categorised as social affordable housing.
The essence of our proposal lies in the choreography between inside and outside. It results in a kaleidoscope of galleries, balconies, pergolas, terraces, and gardens that extend the apartments into nature and give them their identity. A garden city where every inhabitant is gifted a high-quality outdoor space no matter the income.
Congratulations to the winners of the remaining plots and we are looking forward to the next steps of the project in the future.
