Description
- The Ginko project includes 7 hectares of public spaces, with three canals running through the area. Each canal is crossed by a footbridge, providing both functional and aesthetic elements to the neighborhood.
- The design incorporates a garden promenade along the banks of the existing lake, enhancing connection with nature for residents and visitors.
- The project offers 2,600 housing units, promoting a social mix through the introduction of different housing typologies. This includes a variety of housing forms—single-family homes, apartments, and mixed-use buildings.
- This diversity in housing is designed to foster social cohesion and accommodate a wide range of residents, from different social and economic backgrounds.
- The urban form in Ginko emphasizes a sustainable and people-centric approach, reducing reliance on cars and prioritizing pedestrian and bike-friendly pathways.
- Buildings are arranged to encourage natural sunlight and provide lake views for many of the residential units.
- The development features a mix of modern architectural styles with brick and glass facades, ensuring cohesion and visual interest across the neighborhood.
- In addition to housing, the project includes 20,000m² of retail and community facilities, such as shops and public amenities. This ensures that the neighborhood remains self-sufficient and that daily needs can be met within walking distance of residences.
- The transport network is designed to accommodate multiple modes of travel, including pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport. Roads are organized to minimize car traffic, promoting a safer and quieter environment.
- Green corridors and public spaces are designed to connect different areas of the neighborhood seamlessly, improving walkability and enhancing the overall urban experience.
- 2005: The Ginko project won its initial competition.
- 2006-2015: The project’s public space mission and urban coordination took place, ensuring that the development aligned with its long-term vision of sustainability, social inclusion, and urban regeneration.
