Student Accommodation at Ingelheimer Gärten

The ‘Student Accommodation at Ingelheimer Gärten’ project is creating around 290 student flats in Darmstadt to meet the growing demand for student housing. The developer is EMON Parkside GmbH.

The central location provides easy access to Darmstadt Technical University and Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences (h_da). At the same time, the previously isolated Ingelheimer Garten will be more closely integrated into the urban fabric through new footpath connections. In place of the existing buildings, three five- to six-storey blocks will be constructed, between which unpaved green spaces and courtyards will extend the park right up to the southern boundary of the site.

The design focuses on preserving the existing tree population, supplemented by new plantings and further greening. A café serving as a neighbourhood meeting place, along with playgrounds, will create additional spaces for people to linger and socialise. The apartments, ranging from 20 to 30 m², each feature an en-suite bathroom and a kitchenette. A shared underground car park connects all the building blocks, whilst flexible floor plans allow for individual flats to be merged at a later date. Thanks to the ‘Bauturbo’ political initiative, which aims to speed up planning and approval processes, the aim is to commence construction in the near future.
