construction of an ensemble of apartment buildings (Open Oproep 34)

By demolishing 407 existing apartments and replacing them with 470 new homes, the project is on such a scale that it becomes a driving force to influence the evolution of the city with high-quality housing, landscape and a growing, differentiated population. Articulated buildings and reference levels relate to the different layers and scales that make up the landscape: the heights of the planted forest in dialogue with terraces with a herbaceous layer and shrubs that create shaded spaces, or a rooftop landscape with a green roof extended above the tree canopy.
