The open space defines a clear boundary between the urban frontage along St. Jakob Street and the inner gardens, which are being developed as part of the new garden city concept. The front zone along St. Jakob Street is part of the urban street space. It consists of a functional and commercial facade. The sidewalk and traffic areas are paved with asphalt, while the remaining surfaces (including visitor parking spaces) consist of water-permeable gravel turf. Standard trees provide deliberate accents along the urban facade and reinforce the cohesive atmosphere.

The Quartiersanger is the most important gathering place for future residents to interact with one another and with the rest of the neighborhood. It provides a pedestrian connection between St. Jakob-Straße and Gartenstraße. The design of the central feature, as well as the various amenities available to future residents, underscore the open character of the Anger.

The neighborhood center and the daycare center offer a wide range of activities that strengthen the social community. Only the Riegelgartenhaus is set back to showcase its surrounding green filter. Concrete slabs define the clear geometric shape of the village green here. The central paved area serves as a continuous and flexible space for organizing neighborhood events. It is subtly enhanced by a solitary tree that defines the space and a water feature.

To the east and west of the Quartiersanger lie the residents’ lush and varied gardens. Here, the gentle topography allows for planting that creates distinct zones of public access. The gardens consist of a flowing green space. Pathways, as well as play and sunbathing areas, are defined by maintenance-oriented pruning. With a ground level ranging from 50 cm to small elevations of 1.5 m, an attractive “plant topography” is created that ensures the division into public, semi-public, and private spaces. Different types of meadows and perennial vegetation are complemented by a selection of trees and shrubs. The vegetation fosters a sense of belonging and provides welcome shade during the summer months. The structurally rich vegetation thus has a positive impact on the microclimate and strengthens the habitats of flora and fauna.

The new Brügglimattweg stands out due to its hard paving, which reflects the garden city’s new design concept. The path provides access to the four garden houses and connects St. Jakob-Straße to Gartenstraße at two points, with the main connection running through the neighborhood park.

The continuous garage, which extends across nearly the entire property, is perforated in several places to allow for planting. Rainwater tanks are also integrated here; the rainwater collected from the roofs of the new buildings is used to irrigate the gardens.

Visitor bicycle parking is available near the entrances to the building units. Car parking spaces are located along St. Jakob-Straße and Brügglimattstrasse.
