On the Rootacker in Stetten, a development structure is proposed that corresponds to the existing neighborhood of single-family houses. The sloping site is occupied by three apartment buildings, which follow the natural course of the terrain. Although the desired density is achieved, the gradation leaves enough space between the buildings and allows an unobstructed view over the valley. Each of the three houses includes five bright flats with different sizes and floor plans. They all have in common an orientation towards the view and a fluid sequence of rooms.
