Together with the architects of yellow z, we have intensively dealt with the transformation of the Leipzig quarter "Glesiener Straße" in a non-open competition. To complement the existing "grove" on the inside, which forms an identity-creating "green centre" in the new quarter, we developed three neighbourhood squares that enter into a dialogue with the existing and new buildings.

The jury evaluated our design as follows (excerpt): "The re-use of one of the factory halls with sports facilities is seen very positively (...), which is again connected to a small public space. Overall, the public spaces are well dimensioned and interconnected.
