The urban population increase worldwide places city authorities in a challenging situation, as they have to ensure both healthy and affordable living conditions for their citizens. Due to high real estate prices, municipal authorities in some cities turn towards redevelopment and adaptation for housing of areas in proximity to noise sources. This paper presents a competition project of housing development within a noise polluted urban area in Hamburg Stellingen. It analyses and explains the parameter of the construction plan and considers the requirements of the future residents and the developer of this area. The design of the project pinpoints and includes principles of local, national and supranational policies, as well as ideas for smart and noise-relevant urban development. The presented project is compared with other newly built housing blocks in noise-difficult urban areas. It outlines general concepts and interprets potential new principles for further noise relevant urban development. This paper offers a possible solution to the new residential housing development at Hamburg Stellingen. It discusses the options of building development in proximity to noise sources from both urbanistic and architectural perspective. It offers composition, floor plans and facades principles that can be used by further housing projects in noise difficult areas.
