The Houses with One Pillar project in Söcking replaces a low-quality single-family home from the 1950s with two new homes designed for multigenerational use. This initiative is part of a broader urban development aimed at densification without expanding the siteâs footprint. The design promotes community interaction by positioning kitchens towards the street and offers privacy in living areas. Utilizing local construction methods, the facade features black charred timber to prevent moisture retention, while the layout allows for varying interior configurations to suit different family needs.
The Houses with One Pillar project exemplifies modern urban development by replacing a 1950s single-family home with twin gabled houses designed for multigenerational living.
Demolition was favored over reuse due to the poor quality of the original structure, facilitating the opportunity to create more suitable housing for the community.
The innovative layout of the new homes promotes neighborhood connectivity by positioning kitchens to face the street while maintaining privacy for living spaces.
The use of black charred timber cladding reflects local building traditions and enhances the aesthetic appeal while also offering practical benefits such as moisture prevention.
