Description
- Haverleij is a unique suburban development located northwest of Den Bosch, Netherlands. Designed by Sjoerd Soeters in collaboration with H+N+S Landscape Architects, the masterplan was inspired by the concept of fortified castles scattered across a green landscape.
- The development includes nine bastion-like housing concentrations (referred to as castles) and one central castle. These are designed as individual residential clusters with 50 to 100 units per castle, providing a sense of community and seclusion while allowing for green space in between.
- The castles are positioned to ensure that each is separated by at least 200 meters, with the spaces in between serving as green open areas, including a golf course and a nature reserve.
- The central castle contains additional facilities such as a school, a crèche, and other central amenities.
- The overall layout prioritizes communal living, with each castle featuring a shared communal garden rather than individual private gardens.
- The development embraces a postmodern architectural style while drawing inspiration from medieval fortifications. Each castle has its own distinct architectural character, yet they are all connected by a unified urban design.
- The landscape designed by H+N+S Landscape Architects, preserves the green setting of the area.
- The entire development is accessed via a single primary route, which leads to each castle.
