Revitalization of the Schipperskwartier

Revitalization of the Schipperskwartier into a residential neighborhood with the creation of a contemporary and attractive living environment through the renovation of an apartment complex.  The project consists of two separate buildings, with the Crauwelengang building and the Oudemansstraat apartment building having their entrances to the respective streets on which these buildings are located. On the outside, the building forms a continuation of the street façade with a robust grid that clearly defines the street as urban space and follows the plot structure of the historic city center. The rear is characterized by a fine steel passerel structure that serves as an entrance compass for the apartments above. The entire interior space (inner garden with rear facade) forms a light and green environment in the middle of the city. Special attention has been paid to the entrance areas of the houses. This is the part of the building that has the most direct relationship with the public space. The staircase is a transition zone between private and public where the residents can sit in their own place on the street. The rest of the facade has also been designed with care and detail to enrich the street scene. The play between open and closed façade parts and the detailing plays an important role in this.
