Challenge
The site designated for the investment was an undeveloped plot with varied terrain, located in a suburban area of Lublin. The land featured a loess plateau with natural slopes, requiring careful adaptation of building placement and infrastructure. Moreover, the development had to comply with strict urban planning and accessibility regulations, including parking requirements, sun exposure standards, and integration with future phases of construction (Phase 2 and 3). The design also needed to ensure privacy for residents while maintaining open community spaces.
Objective
The objective was to design a residential complex of three low-rise multifamily buildings with underground parking, technical infrastructure, and thoughtfully arranged outdoor spaces. The aim was to: • Maximize use of the land while maintaining sufficient biologically active areas. • Provide a clear, functional urban layout with efficient pedestrian and vehicular access. • Ensure the required number of parking spaces (including for people with disabilities and bicycles). • Integrate a safe, sunlit playground. • Design buildings with accessible entrances and apartments adapted for people with disabilities. • Respect environmental and legal standards for daylight, fire safety, noise, water management, and neighboring properties.
Results
The final design successfully addressed all planning and regulatory requirements: • Three independent buildings were positioned along the northern edge of the plot, optimizing southern exposure for the internal courtyard and playground. • A total of 84 parking spaces were provided (45 underground, 39 on the surface), slightly exceeding the minimum requirement, with future expansion considered. • The project preserved over 39% of biologically active area, exceeding the minimum 25% requirement. • A well-oriented and safe playground was introduced for children aged 2–9, along with shaded areas and benches for guardians. • Each building included accessible features for persons with reduced mobility, including ground-level entries and dedicated apartments. • The development met all conditions regarding natural lighting, shadowing, fire access, and environmental impact, making it a sustainable and inclusive residential complex ready for phased expansion.
