PROJECT Future living / Zukunft Wohnen – am ehemaligen Fliesenwerk Boizenburg
LOCATION Boizenburg - Germany
COMPETITION 2024
Redefining Social Housing in Germany
This project creates a diverse mix of units for individuals, couples, and families, all designed with southern light and natural cross-ventilation for bright, comfortable living. Green buffer zones enhance privacy, while shared gardens, bridges, and a rooftop terrace invite interaction and relaxation.
Wo Innen- und Außen verschmelzen und Menschen zusammenfinden ...
The project achieves an efficient balance of density and livability. With a GFZ/GRZ ratio of ~4.02 and ~66.8 m² per unit for 277 residences, it ensures compact yet comfortable living. 17% circulation reflects efficient layouts, while ~6% communal areas strengthen social interaction. A healthy 16% public space and ~10% parking further highlight the project’s sustainable and community-oriented design.
Building Placement Strategies – Comparative Study
Building Placement Strategies – Comparative Study
The diagram compares different placement strategies on the rectangular plot. While the first three layouts show common approaches, each has drawbacks in terms of sunlight, views, or spatial quality. The final design resolves these issues by orienting all units with south-facing facades for optimal daylight and ventilation.
Interconnected Spaces

Sunlit Interiors & Green Buffer Zones
Sunlit Interiors & Green Buffer Zones
Even the smallest units benefit from direct southern sunlight, ensuring bright and warm living spaces throughout the day. Natural light enhances well-being while reducing energy consumption.
A green buffer—an open void between the hallways and units—enhances privacy, airflow, and light. These spaces create a welcoming atmosphere in the entrance areas and strengthen the connection to nature.
Cross Ventilation & Green Buffers
Cross Ventilation & Green Buffers
Cross-ventilation is a key feature of the design, improving indoor air quality and providing natural cooling. This passive strategy promotes healthier living environments and energy efficiency.
Rooftop Experience
