In the courtyard an existing small apartment building situated along the firewall has been replaced by a five-storey residential construction. By consciously inserting a non historicing massive façade a reference/connection to the existing buildings has been established. The courtyard enclosure appears as a unified building  creating a smooth transition between old and new. The courtyard and back façade form a green belt, a „curtain“ and green area with a specific background sound: rustling of leaves and a fountain creating a calm courtyard atmosphere.
