Description

    Site and Urban Design 

     

  • Situated between highways and a high-voltage network, Stadstuin required an innovative approach to address its challenging location.
  • Houses are placed within a shared park, where all homes have roof terraces instead of traditional gardens.
  • The surrounding landscape, which uses excess soil from previous developments, creates a sloping effect, hiding the parking lots beneath and integrating the built environment into the natural surroundings.
  • Green spaces and water collection points are designed into the park
  •  

    Housing and Layout

     

  • All housing blocks are built on top of parking lots, with homes arranged on noise barriers or near widened waterways, acting as acoustic screens and creating sufficient distance from high-voltage lines.
  • The houses are placed within the community park
  •  

    Community Features

     

  • The park is designed to cater to different needs, with playgrounds for children, flower gardens for the elderly, and a water storage canyon that also acts as a recreational feature.
