USE OF CONVERSION AREAS
Unspoiled green spaces, such as the Lachgraben to the north of our site, are a precious resource. We will only develop sealed and previously industrial areas on the site of the old brickyard and south of the RTW line. After all, conversion is the most sustainable form of urban development.
Climate-adapted urban planning
With smart, climate-adapted urban design, we will ensure the flow of fresh and cool air. By dismantling the old brickyard, we are expanding the Steinbach floodplain and enlarging air corridors. These measures, developed by the INKEK office, contribute significantly to climate adaptation.
We are planning Quartier 15 as a sponge city with retention areas and smart rainwater management. Green roofs and facades, as well as cooling green and water areas, complement the concept.
CO2-neutral
Quartier 15 will rely on a CO2-neutral energy supply – an important step toward a climate-friendly future. Innovative technologies and sustainable concepts, such as geothermal energy, waste heat and photovoltaics, will ensure environmentally friendly, future-proof energy.
Car-light, e-powered mobility
With excellent public transport connections and a mobility hub at the RTW station, Quartier 15 is designed as a car-light neighborhood. If desired, residents will be able to live without private cars while maintaining flexibility. We will provide e-charging infrastructure for cars, bikes and cargo bikes, as well as shared mobility options. A generous green pedestrian and cycling network will complete the mobility concept, reducing emissions and protecting the environment.
Cradle-to-cradle principle
We are committed to circular construction according to the cradle-to-cradle principle. As far as possible, we will use environmentally friendly building materials that are reusable, so that at the end of their lifecycle they can be repurposed into something new.
