Residential community to the tilia

IU International University of Applied Sciences

Idea projektu

The “Residential community to the Tilia” project sees itself as a contemporary interpretation of communal living, inspired by the ideas of Phalanstère Charles Fourier. Based on historical models such as co-housing and cluster housing, the project aims to combine social cohesion, sustainable use of resources and multifunctional spaces in an urban context. In addition to the cooperative living space, the building offers additional uses such as a daycare center for children under three, a music school and a public coffee shop. The result is a diverse, socially mixed living space that actively addresses the challenges of today's urbanization, the lack of affordable housing and social isolation. The project thus contributes to lively, solidary and sustainable urban development.

Popis projektu

The Residential community to the Tilia project in Mannheim combines innovative forms of living with a future-oriented, sustainable usage concept. Inspired by the historical ideas of the Phalanstère and today's co-housing approaches, a hybrid building is being created that combines social, functional and ecological aspects.

The building focuses on a high social mix and versatile usage options: barrier-free apartments for senior citizens, family-friendly floor plans, cluster apartments for students and communal spaces such as a launderette and a common room promote encounters, exchanges and mutual support.

The future adaptability of the building was also taken into account in the planning: the underground car park can be flexibly converted into leisure or commercial use in the future. The absence of an oversized parking space key is compensated for by a forward-looking mobility concept that relies on public transport, bicycle and car sharing services as well as alternative forms of mobility.

Particular attention is paid to the ecological construction method. The building is constructed using the recyclable TRIQBRIQ timber construction system, which is made from regional industrial and calamity wood. The building blocks can be dismantled by type and returned to the material cycle after use. This cradle-to-cradle construction method enables significant CO₂ reduction and avoids waste and wastage of resources. The sustainability concept is complemented by rainwater management, the use of district heating (climate-neutral in future) and photovoltaic systems for the building's own electricity consumption.

Technické informace

This building project sees itself as a model project for sustainable, community-oriented building and living. It consistently integrates the principles of sufficiency, efficiency, consistency and the cradle-to-cradle approach in planning, construction and operation.

Sufficiency - reduction through intelligent use
The design aims to significantly reduce the space required per person through flexible floor plans, communal areas and multifunctional spaces. Living, working and educational facilities are bundled in one place, which reduces traffic volumes and resource consumption. Shared infrastructure such as the daycare centre, the music school, a café and spacious communal areas strengthen social interaction and promote resource-efficient everyday organization. The cooperative housing concept also provides affordable housing in the long term and contributes to stable social structures.

Efficiency - optimal use of resources in operation
The energy concept is based on the use of renewable energies:
- Heat pump systems and a large-scale photovoltaic system cover the majority of the energy requirements.
- Highly thermally insulated, thermal bridge-optimized building shells minimize heat loss.
- Controlled ventilation with heat recovery significantly reduces heating energy requirements.
- Intelligent control systems optimize the operation of all technical building systems and reduce energy and water consumption.
- Green roofs and retention areas ensure the sustainable use of rainwater and improve the microclimate.

Consistency - environmentally friendly, durable materials
Environmentally friendly, recyclable and low-emission products were already taken into account when selecting the materials:
-Load-bearing components made from recycled concrete significantly reduce the CO₂ footprint during the construction phase.
-Wood is used as a renewable, CO₂-binding building material for the interior fittings, façade elements and parts of the load-bearing structure.
-Insulation materials are made from sustainable materials such as cellulose, wood fiber or hemp.
-Interior finishing materials, paints, varnishes and adhesives meet the highest standards in terms of low emissions and health compatibility.
-Façade cladding and window frames are made of durable, low-maintenance materials that guarantee a long service life and can be easily dismantled.

Cradle to cradle - recyclability as a guiding principle
The building is designed in such a way that all materials used can be returned to defined cycles after use:
-Modular construction allows components to be dismantled and reused.
-All materials are documented and sorted, making it easier to separate them at a later date.
-The combination of biological and technical cycles is considered separately in planning and execution from the outset.
-The use of a digital material passport ensures the traceability of the products used and contributes to the future circular economy in the construction industry.

The result is a functionally well thought-out, socially inclusive and ecologically forward-looking building that not only meets today's requirements for sustainable urban development, but also serves as a model for future hybrid forms of living and usage concepts.
