DEELPLAN 14 YPENBURG

A typical Dutch landscape: polders, reeds, trees and water. And standing amidst them all are wooden homes with tiled roofs that are one with their surroundings. While some of the homes border on the water and reeds, others arise out of the grass. The point of departure for the urban development plan 14 in Ypenburg was to create an actual landscape. Along these lines, the residents have a number of options to adapt their homes to their own wishes without disrupting the surrounding nature. The result is a contrasting picture that draws from and refers to the character of the landscape.
