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

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

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.
