Vis à Vis – Living at the Riverside Park and Harbor, Münster

Located along the Dortmund-Ems Canal, opposite Stadthafen 1 and 2, the project envisions a new 12-hectare mixed-use neighbourhood in Münster. Emphasizing sustainable living, the design integrates residential buildings with small-scale commercial uses, fostering a lively environment that benefits the wider Münsterland region.

A central feature is the 3-hectare riverside park, offering recreation and reinforcing the area’s scenic quality. The jury praised the concept for its clarity and well-articulated design.

The former industrial site is organized into three neighbourhoods, each responding to its context. A commercial buffer zone defines the edge, transitioning into residential courtyards and a blue-green central greenway.

This structure supports biodiversity, urban integration, and high-quality living near the waterfront.
