In line with the Wettingen Gestaltungsplan, a proposed development presents an updated urban identity with rhythmically structured roofscapes that improve urban connections to the adjacent railway area. 

The longitudinal residential and commercial buildings along Güterstrasse enrich urban living and are characterized by their green, structured modes of access and an overall high metropolitan density. Two-floor arcades open up into urban areas, while the active ground floors adjoining the station further invigorate the city space. The purely residential building along the pedestrian segment of Güterstrasse is elevated, maintaining harmony with the surrounding landscape.

A concrete façade grid visually unifies the buildings and provides the terraces' greenery. Accessible green roof spaces enhance communal and habitation quality, encouraging interaction between the resident communities. Each unit, designed with dual or triple orientation, is highly flexible, naturally illuminated, and features two private outdoor spaces. All rooftops allow for photovoltaic energy generation.
