Projects / Arhbau residential development

Eight gardens. One architectural language.

Three buildings and eight private gardens in the Arhbau development. A shared palette of materials and planting connects them, while each layout responds to its own conditions.

Scope
3 buildings · 8 private gardens

One architectural language. Eight spatial responses.

01 / Context

The landscape design connects eight private gardens across three residential buildings. Each belongs to its own home, with a consistent relationship to the architecture.

02 / Constraints

Width, depth and the position of the terrace change the space available. Different sunlight conditions further influence the layout of planting and places to sit.

03 / The design decision

Materials and planting motifs recur throughout the project. Terraces, paths and planting are arranged to suit each garden, rather than repeating one layout eight times.

04 / Analysis that informs the decision

Sunlight analysis was used alongside the spatial layout to check where planting and outdoor living would work in the different gardens.

Arhbau: 3.2 hours of potential direct sunlight at a selected point in O1’s north garden and 8.4 hours in its south garden, on 13 August between 09:00 and 18:00.

At selected points beside building O1, the analysis shows 3.2 hours of potential direct sunlight in the north garden and 8.4 hours in the south garden, on 13 August between 09:00 and 18:00. These values describe specific points on a reference day, not annual averages for the whole gardens.
