David Chipperfield Architects has (along with the project developer Fürst Development and the architectural practices Ortner & Ortner Baukunst, B&E Baumschlager-Eberle, and KCAP Architects & Planners) developed a scheme for the quarter, based on a masterplan by Ackermann & Raff.

The quarter mainly comprises residential buildings, in addition to an office building with retail space. David Chipperfield Architects has designed a freestanding residential building which forms the northern boundary for the quarter’s square. The building comprises seven residential floors and a two-storey day care centre which faces the park. The residential building and the day care centre together form an architectural ensemble. The two-storey foyer of the building is oriented towards the square. The day care centre can be accessed via the square and also via the garden and the underground car park. Interior courtyards, cut into the building, function as protected outdoor areas and extend the common areas of the day care centre. On the long west façade, the 15 apartments have loggias and terraces which look towards the park. The facades of the new building are planned in whitewashed brick as a reference to the colouring of the Weissenhof Estate.
