The project responds to Hamburg’s housing policy (1/3 free market, 1/3 social, 1/3 buy to let) by proposing a mix of residential towers and back to back houses. It provides links to the public transport network, connecting the site with the proposed Olympic Village and HafenCity. The public spaces (including green spaces, play parks, skate parks, and a mini outdoor stage) and the community/commercial/cultural spaces are carefully located at the ground floor of the residential blocks to allow maximum interaction between buildings and streets.
