- Event: Handover of keys for three new apartment buildings
- Location: Am Oelste, Jena
- Scope: 26 apartments (various sizes)
- Special feature: Focus on accessibility
- Architecture: OTTO Architektur + Landschaftsarchitektur
Urgently Needed Living Space
The housing project expands the city’s real estate market with new, contemporary living space. The responsible firm “OTTO Architektur + Landschaftsarchitektur” placed particular emphasis on inclusion during the planning and implementation of the three buildings. The 26 newly created residential units vary in floor plan size to accommodate different lifestyles and household sizes. A central aspect of the construction was also the consistent focus on accessibility.
With the official handover of the keys, which took place this Monday afternoon, the construction project is now complete, and the buildings are ready for the first residents to move in.
Background: Barrier-free living in Jena
As a growing “swarm city,” Jena has seen a constantly high demand for modern and, above all, barrier-free living space for years. Especially for seniors or people with physical limitations, ground-level access, elevators, and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms are crucial for leading a long, self-determined life in one’s own four walls. Building projects that integrate such inclusive aspects from the start make an important contribution to sustainable and social urban development in Jena.
