0245Housing estate Hardau
The new building integrates into the existing structure along Hardstrasse, extending the row buildings with typical front gardens into the green space at Hardau Park. The closed street facade opens up through a courtyard toward the Hardau settlement, surrounded by existing trees and offering diverse outdoor uses. The building connects the Hardau residential area with Hardstrasse and Albisriederplatz, creating a spatial link to Hardau Park. A wide plaza on the south side invites social interaction, while the ground floor houses commercial uses. The shared inner courtyard strengthens the community among residents through flexible use and good visibility.
