Description

Urban Design and Masterplan

Development on a former defence site in Eindhoven, transformed into a green oasis with a focus on integrating nature with urban living.
The primary structure of the site is defined by the existing trees and open spaces, emphasizing the preservation of the natural landscape as a framework for the new development.
Future interventions will contribute to the green structure, ensuring that nature remains a central element in the urban environment as the area evolves.

Housing Typologies and Customization

Diversity of housing typologies is a key feature of Bosrijk, offering a wide range of living options.
The housing typologies are customized for each building lot based on the individual needs of the residents, making every plot unique.
The integration of private outdoor spaces into the built environment is prioritized.

Sustainability Features

The preservation and integration of existing trees and green areas into the design help maintain biodiversity and reduce the environmental footprint of the development.
Private outdoor spaces are designed to blend seamlessly into the overall landscape.

Architectural Integration

The architecture designed to reflect the natural landscape, with homes and buildings arranged around the existing green structures.
Buildings are integrated with nature, blending into the open spaces and trees, and creating a relationship between the built and natural environments.
The development's approach to architecture and landscape ensures that the area's historical roots as a defence site are respected while providing a modern, sustainable living environment for its residents.
