In March 2017, the architectural firm MVRDV released their plans for the revitalisation of a former US army barracks in the Franklin Mitte neighbourhood of Mannheim.

The 144-hectare site will offer mixed typologies and developments, including a central ‘hub’, a green hill made from demolished barracks buildings, containing shops, restaurants, cafes and community spaces.

[[File:Home1.jpg]]

Key to the design is four residential towers which will together spell ‘H-O-M-E’. Around each building is a plaza created in the shape of the projected shadow of the letter, its size determined by local regulations that call for a certain distance between neighbouring buildings.

The ‘O’ tower will be 12,380 sq. m and contain 120 apartments, while the ‘M’ tower will be 17,890 sq. m and contain 185 apartments, each being different sized pixel-type sizes with varying balcony sizes.

The neighbourhood is neutral toned, whilst the towers will each have bright individual colours making them stand out in the landscape.

The towers are orientated around the hill with a rotation towards the ‘Vogelstang’ district and the highway which allows readability from a distance.

The development aims to retain young local families who would otherwise leave Mannheim. The challenge facing MVRDV was to introduce density and diversity, drawing on the site’s existing fabric, while reusing and repurposing the original barracks to create a new community space.
