Future neighbourhood with residential and commercial space in Döttingen
Döttingen is getting a new neighbourhood based on plans by fsp Architekten from Spreitenbach. The winning entry will be exhibited in Döttingen on 18 and 19 October.
The results of the study contract for the Gewerbestrasse site development in Döttingen will be exhibited in Döttingen on 18 and 19 October. The winning entry was submitted by fsp Architekten from Spreitenbach, together with LAND Suisse from Lugano and ASTOC Architects and Planners from Cologne. In the DOT project, a new neighbourhood is being created on the Birchmeier Hess Immobilien site. An area of 75,000 square metres will be home to 550 flats, while 15,000 square metres are earmarked for commercial use, as detailed in a press release.
“With the transformation of the site, industry will become a neighbourhood. Halls become home, traces become identity. The industrial heritage is being transformed – sustainable, future-proof, mixed,” says Ivo Lenherr from fsp Architekten about the DOT project. The jury’s unanimous vote in favour of the winning project was based, among other things, on the “sophisticated urban planning strategy in dealing with the specifications of the landowner, the current building stock and the approved structure plan”. The project represents “a considerate approach to the neighbourhood and public needs and promises a harmonious and rich living and working environment for future users.”
