Sakura는 매우 혼잡한 시내 교차로에 위치해 있다. 설계 계획은 좀 더 나은 채광 조건을 갖추는 데 촛점을 맞추고 있었다. T 포인트를 없애기 위해 V 자 형태의 정원이 건물 내에 들어왔다. 동쪽에 나있는 통로는 행인들을 Brünnerstraße 과 서쪽 공원으로 연결시킨다.
Urban Concept
The property is located on a very busy intersection.
By intervening in the provided work plan it was possible to create better light and sunlight conditions.
In order to defuse the “T”-point, a V-shaped courtyard is cut into the building.
The portico accesses and the ancillary room areas are concentrated throughout the courtyard.
A passage in the East creates a pedestrian connection between Brünnerstraße and a park in the West.

Building Structure
The North- and Courtyard-wing are connected by a portico; the East-wing is connected by paired apartments.
The South-West part of the building has apartments located on the ground floor which are situated 60 cm above the adjoining terrain. The rest of the ground floor houses a 5-group kindergarten and ancillary rooms.
Apartment Structure
A large variety of apartment ground plans are created through the particular body structure of the building. Openness and the dynamic of the space structure may add to the diversity of living units.
By putting together B-type apartments bigger flats are created, each with a correspondently large sanitary units. The possibility to interconnect the rooms between the B and C-type apartments is given, as well as the possibility to merge them together.
The apartments are designed in a very compact way and are economically optimized. The flats offer the same quality and category of living having less usable space.
Facade
The portico is shielded from the street by a “skin” made of a steel mesh. Big cuts in the façade allow different view variations and sequences into the surroundings. The steel mesh covers over the plastered façade on the East part of the housing complex. The façade in the courtyard is composed of loggias and windows of 2 different sizes
Reduction of Cost Through Planning
Creating compact apartments. Less usable space – same apartment category and equal quality of living. The portico is designed in a way to minimize the amount of elevators and staircases, which creates lower costs in the building process, as well as in the everyday life usage. The sanitation core is build with short pipe systems.
Social Sustainability
Flexibility and suitability for everyday use is one of the central components of the planning. This is possible through the ground plan design (flexible living-kitchen area, neutral living spaces, the ability to connect rooms, merging apartments) and the possibility of being able to be part of the designing process of the apartment by its future owners.
The complex is equipped with easily reachable bike and baby stroller storage spaces on the ground and on the upper floors. Accessibility in all the community areas is, of course, a must. The ground floor apartments have different combination possibilities which can be adapted for the special needs of handicap people and people in need of care.
Due to the compactness of the flats, a big variety of different community spaces is offered. The diversity of the community areas reaches from a recreational communal kitchen large number of guests, to a managed in- and outdoor areas for children to play.
Clear circulation areas, good lighting and a variety of visual relationships create fear free paths and spaces. Every apartment has its own loggia with a balcony which shows good use of proportions.
