New homes offer greater freedom in Handewitt

In Handewitt in northern Germany, Die Mürwiker has built supported housing for people with disabilities who need assistance in their daily lives. Residents can live in their own flats while having help close at hand whenever they need it.

The supported housing on Feldstraße is the only development of its kind in the area. Residents are tenants in their own right but can receive support around the clock. This provides greater freedom in everyday life, as each person can live more independently without being left on their own.

The development was built in 2022 and comprises 26 flats across four separate buildings, as well as a communal building for social activities. The modern buildings have mono-pitched roofs clad with Nordic Klikfals 475 in anthracite grey.

The steel roofing gives the buildings a calm and robust appearance. Nordic Klikfals has a long service life, requires minimal maintenance and has been tested by the Danish Technological Institute at wind speeds of up to hurricane force. At Feldstraße, the roof cladding therefore helps create a durable setting for supported housing where safety and independence are paramount.
