Edelholz Quartier
Two apartment buildings with 29 units on the edge of the forest in Calw, the city of Hermann Hesse: The EdelholzQuartier is designed as a compact complex with clear floor plans and a shared underground parking garage in the Waldsiedlung Wimberg development.
In the Wimberg district of Calw, west of the old town, lies the Waldsiedlung development area, which is characterized by the adjacent forests. For the northern part of the area, MKE—as project developer, builder, and investor—has completed the EdelholzQuartier: two apartment buildings on Hardtwaldstraße and Rotbuchenstraße with a total of 29 apartments and a shared underground parking garage.
The slightly irregular shape of the lot and the winding streets of the neighborhood shape Studio Karadjov’s design. The complex faces south and is nestled within an open green space featuring a children’s playground.
The design calls for apartments ranging from compact 2-room units to 4-room apartments for families, complemented by gardens on the ground floor, balconies, and rooftop terraces on the penthouse level. Floor-to-ceiling windows, 2.60-meter-high ceilings, and underfloor heating are planned to create bright, comfortable living spaces.
MKE relies on clear floor plans and straightforward processes in planning and construction. This keeps costs predictable. The neighborhood is designed with a wood facade, pellet heating, and meets the KfW Efficiency House 55 standard.

At the edge of the forest in the city named after Hermann Hesse.
Calw is located in the Nagold Valley on the northern edge of the Black Forest and is known as the birthplace of Hermann Hesse: its historic half-timbered old town, market square, Hesse Museum, and nature and landscape conservation areas. As a college town, Calw offers a wide range of educational opportunities, including a private university of business and media. The EdelholzQuartier is located in the Wimberg neighborhood. Plans for the new development area also include a daycare center, a senior living facility, and a park at the headwaters of the Schießbach.
