Parkweelde II
In this district some old buildings are being demolished and replaced by a small quarter around a park. The positive aspects of the old district will be retained; the existing trees remain as much as possible and the idea of living surrounded by green is restored. The disadvantages, such as many cars in the street, are converted into solutions. This principle is realized by creating car parks within the buildings. The terraces and entrances of the houses are on top of this garage. The area between the blocks is green and car free. A footpath with playing facilities is included. The whole block is lifted a foot to give the homes more privacy. Houses with studios are designed at the corners.
The corner of the Ringweg and the Van Randwijcklaan is accented with a seven storeys high apartment building. The apartments on the Van Randwijcklaan will have a veranda with a living room on the first floor. This allows the residents to enjoy the view of the green lane and the park across the Van Randwijcklaan. The homes on the park side will have their front door at the deck and a terrace overlooking the park. The construction is expected to commence in 2010.
