Own living room
Much attention is paid to the creation of a high-quality public space. The neighborhood will have its own living room, where residents can meet. Various activities will be organized from the established residents' association Hero van Breda and the partial mobility concept will also be managed. Parking is available in green parking courts. The neighborhood is accessible via two entrances from the ring road.
Focus on movement and connection
Wink to the past
A small nod to the industrial character of the former factory site is made in the architecture of the neighborhood. This ensures that the neighborhood connects naturally to the existing environment. In the plan, two main lines are visible that slightly converge. This follows the old industrial buildings of the area.
