ADEPT has created a design that embraces the different programmatic typologies of apartments, office, row houses, kindergarten and shops in one extremely diverse urban development. The mix of typologies in the new building interprets the characteristics of Flensburg with its traditional buildings, robust materials and a coherent colour scheme, and translate it into a diverse building volume that divides both horizontally and vertically into a literally three-dimensional building.

By offering a large variety of different functions and dwelling types, the Bahnhofstrasse proposal achieves a large variation in inhabitants and qualities. Each programmatic typology is highlighted separately within the overall building structure to make each more individu- ally visible in the urban context.

Along the ground floor, large apartments and 2 floor dublex apartments span across the building with private green areas on both sides. This strategy handles privacy issues on the ground floor and attracts families to the central city. ‘A small piece of city’ supports diversity further through a diverse programming of the attractive green spaces in the courtyard and the edge condition along the street.
