Description

Urban Design and Masterplan

Dense housing development situated on small plots. It accommodates a wide range of house types and cost categories, responding to diverse housing needs.
The design creates an atmosphere of "regular irregularity", giving the development a village-like density that feels cosy and intimate despite the high density.
The project is broken into two phases: Phase 1 includes 42 dwellings (90-125 m²) and Phase 2 adds 14 dwellings (160-250 m²).

Housing Typologies and Customization

The homes are conceived as a series of generic "farm-like" buildings, offering a limited number of base house types but with opportunities for customization, such as selecting ground-floor extensions and roof additions.
The variety in customization leads to complex and varied spaces between the buildings.
Diagonal views are created across private and collective spaces.

Sustainability and Cost

Building costs for the development were approximately EUR 6,800,000, indicating the project's emphasis on cost-efficiency.
The compact, village-like layout supports a sustainable form of dense housing, reducing the footprint of individual homes and promoting efficient land use.

Architectural Features

The homes retain a farm-like aesthetic, blending modern urban housing with traditional rural forms, making it visually engaging while maintaining a practical and compact form.
The project's design is a response to the limitations of standard row housing, innovating to meet the challenge of providing a wide variety of homes on small plots.
