Completed in April 2024, Qube4Living is a contemporary replacement development comprising nine apartments, including eight accessible units and one fully wheelchair-accessible home. The project demonstrates how energy efficiency, accessibility, and urban quality of life can come together within a contemporary architectural framework focused on long-term residential quality.
The apartments are designed with equal emphasis on architectural quality and everyday functionality. Step-free entrances, generous layouts, and a fully wheelchair-accessible unit create an inclusive living environment that supports people at different stages of life.
The previous five-unit residential building was replaced with a significantly more energy-efficient structure. As the existing building fabric no longer met current expectations for residential quality, energy performance, or accessibility, a vertical extension was not considered viable. Instead, the project increases housing density by building upward within the existing urban footprint, creating additional homes without consuming new land and enabling a more resource-efficient approach to urban development.
Green spaces and biodiversity form an integral part of the project’s ecological strategy:
The facades surrounding terraces and balconies are clad in durable timber, giving the building a warm and tactile character. The uppermost floor is defined by its own timber expression, providing the building volume with a distinct and elegant conclusion.
The project’s mobility strategy supports sustainable everyday transportation through:
The building’s energy supply is based 100% on renewable sources:
