Im Innern des Blocks schufen die Architekten durch die geschickte Anordnung von drei kleineren Häusern, die auf die vorhandene Höhenentwicklung Bezug nehmen, auch einen Hof mit hoher Aufenthaltsqualität.
Does this mean the buildings are the same height as the existing buildings, or how would you interpret it?
TIA.

in harmony with the height of surrounding structures
That doesn't necessarily mean they have to have the same height as surrounding buildings but at the very least they won't clash with neighboring structures.
Tons of ways to express this concept, but the English translation probably needs to be more narrow or less abstract than the German term to be readily understood.
