Development Stellingen, Hamburg

In the Hamburg district of Eimsbüttel, a mixed-use neighbourhood is to be built on a former sports field on the busy Sportplatzring. The existing neighbourhood has different characteristics. The valuable tree population in the north, the open centre of the former sports fields and the noisy road to the south are striking features. In order to respond appropriately to these aspects, a division into three urban areas is proposed: a dense yet publicly permeable development along the street forms the face of the neighbourhood and an appropriate buffer against traffic noise.In the centre is a green garden quarter with open rows of buildings on the former sports fields.In the northern part of the area, characterised by dense tree cover, a neighbourhood is being developed around three communal courtyards.A central district park forms a generous open space for the neighbourhood, which connects the three neighbourhoods in a north-south direction.The new neighbourhood house forms the end of the park on the sports field ring as a powerful solitaire.
