Society Hill Residences Phase II

The second phase of the Society Hill Projects continues the concept of the previous phase. The urban planning concept and the existing typologies were re-designed and supplemented with new typologies. Five story apartment buildings towards the south relate to the urban scale of the first construction phase on the opposite side of the road, while in the north 10 to 12 story apartment buildings form the northern edge towards the city centre’s green space . A new building typology of semi-detached townhouses supplements the existing inner cluster of structures. Brick and stucco remain the characteristic building materials while brighter colours of the buildings along the northern edge emphasize their particular importance in the urban plan. The average density of 1.0 is about 0.2 higher than in the first phase.
