Driving force for sustainable neighborhoods

For us at STC, neighborhood development not only means planning, but also understanding needs early on and incorporating them into the project development. Deliberate interim use plays a central role here: places are brought to life long before new buildings are constructed and provide important impetus for the future design and use of an area.

Interim use allows us to take a very practical look at a property. We see which uses are particularly in demand, where there are “gaps in supply” and what is missing in the surrounding area. This experience flows directly into our long-term neighborhood concepts.

A key added value is the direct exchange: as STC organizes interim uses itself, we are in constant dialogue with tenants, residents and visitors. This creates a lively neighborhood culture and an initial coalescence with the neighborhood during the planning phase.

At the same time, interim use also promotes the conservation of resources: existing materials can be reused or recycled. In this way, we consider social requirements and the circular economy from the outset and create a sensible bridge between existing and new buildings.

“Interim use is not just a temporary use of vacant space, but an important source of inspiration for the future design and use of an area.” – Manuela Pohn
