Description
  • - Average density: 100 dwellings per hectare (the 600 dwellings in the three large housing blocks bring up the average density)
  • Number of dwellings: 2,500 for Borneo Sporenburg / 17,000 for the Eastern Docklands
  • The master plan of the district was designed by West 8 as a predominantly low rise neighborhood with a high density of 100 dwellings per hectare.
  • The streets have been devised in a rectilinear layout with rows of houses.
  • The single-family home forms the module of this masterplan. Each home is three-storied in a narrow plot. Each house consists of 30-50% of void space.
  • There is no surface or street parking anywhere in the region. Individual parking has been provided within the narrow plots by creating split levels- a sunken garage and raised ground floor.
  • the streets have been kept at a minimum width which increases spaces for buildings.
