Description

    Urban Transformation

     

  • The goal is to transform an unattractive and closed area into a green, open, high-density housing area.
  • Create a meaningful place with its own identity for residents and visitors.
  •  

    Design Approach

     

  • A multidisciplinary analysis was conducted to understand the essence of the place.
  • The plan includes raising the ground level, creating a spacious green inner area, and introducing linear elements.
  • Landscape, urban planning, and architecture were integrated to achieve the transformation.
  •  

    Urban Villas in Green Courtyard

     

  • Frij'hof features urban villas situated directly in a green courtyard with no roads.
  • All addresses and front doors face the central green courtyard.
  • The planning area is designed as an extension of Goffert park while maintaining its own identity.
  •  

    Unique Design Features

     

  • The green inner 'city garden' is fully planted with magnolia trees, designed by Buro Lubbers.
  • Ground-floor apartments and houses have verandas and terraces facing the central green courtyard.
  • There are no hedges or fences between public and private spaces, creating an open and connected environment.
