Courtyards in a Court

The leitmotif of “Courtyards in a Court” is the desire to live individually with privacy in a vibrant neighbourhood. In 2010, eleven families from Cologne decided to avoid typical urban sprawl. They developed their own housing project reflecting a desire for a concentrated, urban lifestyle. This compact city block allows residents to choose how to mix privacy with collective living. Flexible floor plans enable each occupant’s lifestyle to be taken into account.
