Vegetation makes an important contribution to cooling the microclimate in the urban environment, making it milder. From the green island, an urban street space develops along the Allmendstrasse. The vegetation mediates between the constructed environment and the human scale, forming the transition between the complex and the busy street.
To the south, a square modestly equipped with bicycle parking and an attractive water feature is created. Rainwater is fed into a sustainable cycle and delivered to the underground retention system through a pond.
