The Oberbillwerder masterplan (planned by ADEPT and Karres en Brands) will lead to significant changes in the adjacent districts in the coming years. This creates new possibilities for Bergedorf West, a classical modernist housing area from 1969. The aim is to interconnect both districts, fuelling an urban revitalization of the monofunctional area, and creating a more coherent living district in Hamburg. Today the area consists of building blocks, repeatedly stamped onto a carpet of anonymous green, which hamper orientation and social interaction. By introducing new typologies, cutting and adding onto the existing building mass, new courtyards are formed. This creates a clearer division between public and private space and offers a more diverse palette for ways of living and ownership.
