Can a new living quarter nurture our need for a greener environment?
We shape a sustainable, car-free community where urban living and nature coexist through smart mobility, renewable energy, and modular construction.
Our vision for a future-oriented neighborhood puts mobility and sustainability at the forefront, blending urban density with the surrounding natural environment to create a harmonious and resilient community. By designing adaptable, resource-efficient spaces, our masterplan sensitively places social, environmental, and economic needs at its center. The neighborhood aims for harmony with nature and the community’s needs.

Nature as an active design element.
Our vision for a future-oriented neighborhood puts mobility and sustainability at the forefront, blending urban density with the surrounding natural environment to create a harmonious and resilient community. By designing adaptable, resource-efficient spaces, our masterplan sensitively places social, environmental, and economic needs at its center. The neighborhood aims for harmony with nature and the community’s needs.
Walkable neighbourhoods.
Open spaces between the blocks and connecting terraces foster social interaction a vivid exchange. The planning of each block aims for networking and diverse encounters: Connecting people with each other and creating a resilient social fabric that evolves over time.
Circular construction for future adaptability.
The use of Triqbriq’s circular and mico-modular timber bricks for the masterplan’s buildings creates an engineered carbon sink. All of the residential construction can be dismantled and reused to reduce waste. This circular approach offers a waste-free approach to future resilient building.

Smart urban blocks that can evolve.
The urban design follows a flexible structure that connects to the existing neighborhoods of the surrounding. It maximizes land use, integrating housing, communal spaces, green areas, and cycling paths. Subtle block rotations enhance energy efficiency, while a green belt connects natural habitats and serves as a noise barrier. The neighborhood gradually transitions from a dense urban core to the adjacent forest, seamlessly merging city and nature.
Evolving with the community.
A truly sustainable neighborhood evolves with its residents. Our design prioritizes community interaction through shared spaces, green courtyards, and open terraces that foster social exchange. It offers a range of home sizes to meet the diverse needs of its residents. Instead of rigid, single-purpose structures, we embrace modular construction, allowing buildings to be reconfigured over time—ensuring long-term adaptability.
Mobility in the heart of the community.
A central access road links key facilities, while the design balances density with green corridors, walkways, and sustainable car-free infrastructure.
Merging mobility with community.
The central mobility hubs are designed as flexible, green space promoting a car-free lifestyle through linking shared mobility with public transport. Built with sustainably sourced timber, the hub creates an open-space concept with room for future adaptations.
