Fig.___The exploded view shows exemplary usages and their placement. The basement accommodates a cloakroom with lockers, toilets, utility- and storage spaces. There are two space-clusters, one consisting of two times, the other of thee times 64 square meters surface area, each interconnectable to one big space and addable to the entire ground floor by the opening of sectional gates. Beside the elevator shaft, one also finds a teaching kitchen there (equally usable for possible gastronomical special use), a co-working/office-space, a reception with affiliated café and one big, free playable lobby, all of them organized around a cut out inner courtyard. Stair-tubes are positioned on the edge of the slab above the ground floor and allow a use of the garden level independently from the street level. This upper floor is widely created as garden area with, beside sheds and greenhouses put on it, two climate envelopes that house overall 10 living units + put in utilizable volumes.
