De Fellingen

224 dwellings arranged as a continuous ensemble: 132 ground-based houses and 88 stacked apartments, grouped in clusters of fifteen to thirty around shared courtyards.

Built volumes are cut with passageways. A single loop ties clusters together, connecting courtyards, woodland, and water. Within, only footpaths and cycle routes; Cars are kept at the edge in mobility hubs, leaving the interior free for people and landscape.

The ground is raised with its own clay, seeded with native plants and fungi. From this, a wild forest grows: dense, unruly, open to play and exploration. Not designed as groomed parkland, but left to grow and evolve.

Six-meter-wide canals with natural banks draw edges through the project site. They store and filter rain, buffer floods, and form ecological corridors.

De Fellingen proposes both settlement and framework in which architecture, landscape, and community are held in balance.
