Five different gardens meet the requirements of individual needs and offer further diverse possible uses in the neighbouring courtyards. This way, everyone can find the garden character that suits them in terms of design and atmosphere.
A uniform network of paths made of light-coloured concrete blocks runs through all the gardens and gives them a cheerful character through its reflection of light. At suitable points, the network of paths widens to form inlaid areas that mark the centres of the gardens. This creates communication space for community-building activities. All gardens have a common green frame. Year-round attractive “four-season shrubs” form translucent green islands. Through their transparent leaf structures they find a balance between shielding the area from view from the flats and allowing enough light and sun to pass through to draw alternating light patterns in the gardens.
