Program

The qualities of the environment are a source of inspiration for the design of the residential landscape. There are different types of housing around courtyards, park streets and singles. Each neighborhood gets its own character. The new district consists of three sub-areas; The Vechtrijk, Lanenrijk and Waterrijk.
