The redevelopment of the industrial property of the Schoch company right at the train station of Stuttgart–Feuerbach implied a series of urban and architectural challenges. Firstly we found ourselves confronted with the need of creating a new presence of Feuerbach at the station as currently one has to navigate through a heterogenious industrial and corporate wasteland before reaching the town.
The second challenge was the development of a dense and varied housing and office scheme offering additional services and shopping on the ground floor.
UV: Two U- and V-shaped building clusters create a clear presence toward the station. While the U wraps around a still active factory as a thinn veneer of office spaces the U mirrors a small and currently under-valued outdoor space next to the church thus creating a meaningful urban green space. Stacked types: The U-shaped cluster offers a wide variety of housing types. It is organized as a stack of differnt typologies: courtyard units on the ground, row houses, flats with access balcony, duplexes and single family homes on the top offering views into the surrounding hills. 3 fingers: The area between the U- and V-shaped clusters and the station is homogenized as one public plaza. Three „fingers“ connect it back to the center of town.
