Four homes, one urban identity

Project Sindelfingen

In the heart of Sindelfingen, Baden-Württemberg, this project shows how timber construction can actively contribute to urban quality. Designed by Hinrichsmeyer + Partner from Böblingen, four terraced houses reinterpret contemporary living through a clear, coherent and sustainable architectural language.

Set within an urban context shaped by the proximity to Stuttgart and major local employers, the project establishes a confident yet restrained presence. Vertical timber cladding gives the ensemble a warm, contemporary identity, while recessed entrances ensure privacy and subtly differentiate each unit. The result is an orderly urban frontage that dialogues with its surroundings and visibly enhances the architectural quality of the street.

From an urban planning perspective, the project is based on a preliminary study aimed at increasing residential density without displacing existing structures. The goal is to provide sustainable and affordable housing for young families and couples, promoting community life while combining architectural quality with ecological responsibility.

The interior layout follows a familiar residential typology, consistently adapted to modern living requirements. The ground floor hosts an open-plan living area with kitchen, dining and lounge spaces forming the social heart of the home. Bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the first floor, while the attic level opens onto a generous terrace, complemented by flexible spaces for guests, home offices or leisure activities. Compact yet adaptable homes that support different lifestyles.

Sustainability plays a central role: the buildings are constructed entirely in timber. Spruce wood façades will naturally develop a patina over time, while heat pump systems combined with a highly insulated building envelope ensure excellent energy efficiency.

This project clearly demonstrates how individual architecture, serial efficiency and urban responsibility can be successfully combined in modern timber construction.
