Cloud

Cloud is a sustainable mixed-use building which explores the advantages of high density by uniting residential program, flexible rental space and attractive (semi) public areas into a "twisted" block with round courtyards.

The corners of the building block are raised to create a continuous covered public plaza below and a spectacular sloping roofscape above.

The green and wavy roofscape is a sloping communal park, a social space of exchange providing recreational areas and allotment gardens, views of the surrounding city, as well as ecological sustainability. The energy consumption of the block is reduced by the green roof, which contributes to the gathering of rainwater, and features a windmill park which generates light for the public plaza beneath.

The round courtyards offer unique daylight qualities and a high degree of privacy and visual openness.

All apartments have balconies facing south with integrated sun cells, fantastic views towards both city and round courtyards with different identities, and a close contact to urban and outdoor life.
