Program

Housing is a basic need of humans. The continually increasing costs for living space in metropolitan areas, however, develop in the opposite direction. An approach to a solution is the construction of affordable apartments. The keyword of “Affordable Living” sums up need-based and affordable housing space, a concept considering the financial resources of the users as well as local circumstances. Thereby, the focus is on the optimisation of costs and benefits (residential value) as well as the permanent improvement of the quality of living.
