Silhouettes – single-family homes

Silhouet is located at the corner of Veerdijk and Noordweg on the historic Zaan and consists of three buildings that you will continue to see – literally and figuratively. With its characteristic shapes on the water, it immediately catches the eye. But what you see is never the same. The silhouette changes with the light, the season, your mood or your perspective. Sometimes tough and sharp, then soft and almost poetic. On the Zaan. In life.

Horizon is a building that comes alive within Silhouet. It is always in sight: in the skyline, in photos, in our minds. And the same applies to the living space itself: every moment of the day brings a different feeling. But what remains is that it feels good. And beautiful. In your own way. There are 77 new homes: from compact 2-room apartments to spacious single-family homes with a garden and a roof terrace. In Horizon you will find a diverse range of homes, each with its own character and views. From a smart maisonnette to comfortable 2- and 3-room apartments to spacious single-family homes with multiple bedrooms, a garden and a roof terrace. Want to stay up to date?

In Wormer, VOF Horizon Development (a collaboration between Timpaan and Bot Bouw) is developing a sustainable neighborhood with a total of 220 homes: 80 social rental units and 63 middle-income apartments for Parteon, and 77 freehold apartments. This mix of housing promotes the flow of people. This neighborhood is a place where living together is central and where neighbors look out for one another and engage in activities together.

The design is by Kenk Architecten and Snitker/Borst Architecten and references the silo and warehouse shape with reference to the rich industrial history of and typical Zaanse identity of the location. The public space with lots of greenery was designed by Copijn Landschapsarchitect and serves as a natural air conditioner during heat stress and a water buffer during rain.
