LANEN 1A

The project is located on the edge of Leidschenveen Zuidwest, along a wide canal. Within the urban layout houses with green front gardens are dotted along meandering lanes. The garages and sheds have been concentrated in a continuous strip running through the centre of the area, leaving the space between the houses green and transparent. A gradient in the site has been used to create terraces for the houses within this strip. The design centres on the expandability of the houses and on making the houses suitable for future adaptation. A number of expansion options and various layout variants were designed for each house. Thanks to this system of basic layouts and additional options, each of the houses will be able to meet the specific requirements of its occupants for years to come.
