The offerings for working at home and as your own start-up come in all sizes, shapes and costs. All non-residential uses are directly accessible via the open spaces and have their own address and entrance. In one of the structures, there are two studios/offices on the first floor, which are connected to the apartments above by stairs.

Via a ramp playfully connected to the surroundings, areas in the basement are activated as attractive space for communal uses. Despite the exposed location of the narrow building site, a protected communal courtyard embedded in the greenery is created, which seamlessly blends into the green spaces.

For a climate-resilient open space design with diverse vegetation and especially shady, large-growing trees, care was taken to allow for a maximally large earth core and to minimize underbuilt as well as sealed areas.

The strengthening of the neighborhood and the development of a "start-up community" is accompanied by social organization. The residents have access to a variety of common areas. These include a library, a music room, a winter garden, a community room and a community terrace. The range of open spaces is supplemented by the so-called "garden labs" - areas for communal gardening. In the area of mobility, in addition to a large number of bicycle parking spaces, bicycle boxes and a washing room for bicycles are available for use.

The range of apartments is supplemented by an apartment suitable for shared living with five units, communal living­ area ­and own private areas. Several apartments receive a so-called "joker room" as a small cabinet, which is assigned to the main room for a wide variety of uses.
