By deliberately placing the building, a new public square is created, which opens up to the west and is defined in relation to the existing development. The connection between the two squares is achieved through a uniform material choice for the surface textures. The two areas are perceived as a unified space.
The privacy of the residential units is protected this way. A shared outdoor space provides a place for communication and exchange. The proximity to the flowing water creates an attractive point of interest that is freely usable.
