Starnberg was historically a picturesque fishing village and summer resort by a lake, a short distance from Munich. The New Market project is part of a larger urban regeneration strategy for the Starnberg North Station. The scheme will transform the area into a lively, accessible part of town and will replace the existing retail shed and car park with a new civic square, a central bus interchange and a mixed-use development.

As Starnberg grew into a wealthy commuter town, the arrival of the railways severed the town from the lake, and started to shift the town centre inlands. The site sits alongside the new station and in the past has been occupied by a large supermarket shed with surface car parking.

The region and Starnberg has a vernacular language of half-timbered buildings (Fachwerkhäuser), and a varied roofscape of gables and pitches. The design of New Market Starnberg plays with this vernacular. The New Market will be built in structural timber, with contemporary pitched roof houses and apartments that give the complex roofscape and scale that fits into the traditional Starnberg vernacular.
