Between 2004 and 2005 the architecture studio A2 and Freising designed this social housing project for the Ackermannbogen in Munich, Germany. It is composed by 53 apartments, offices, a cafè, gardens, communal terraces and communal spaces where it is possible to stay together and, for example, have parties for kids.
Going on the top of the building it is possible to find communal spaces where every inhabitant can meet with others and stay together in the same space, sharing it.

The facade is articulated in three different colours to give rhythm to it and also divide the duplex flats. In detail, looking at the facade it is possible to see the pannels of the walls. In fact, as a social housing project, they tried to build it in the best and cheaper way to limit costs then. In these kinds of projects, generally, they try to design apartments on the base of people needs so, if you are old, they would prefer to design your flat on the ground floor so that it can be easier for you to reach your home. At the same time a ground floor apartment can be used by a student that can serenely live there, maybe in a smaller flat.
But the good idea of these projects, what make them work, is the fact that they try to mix people who are buying the flat and people who are renting it with a facilitated price, due to economic own conditions. So this fact, together with these communal designed spaces, creates a community sense because they can share spaces, hobbies, breaks, they can make their kids play together and so on.
An other example, a bigger design with more connections is the villaggio Matteotti.
