Description:
Residential Infill buildings in a derelict area in Maastricht - a solution for urban wasteland in a manner which harmonizes with the character of the old town. The 1960s plan to create a business area, with high-rise buildings, was fortunately superceded with "a new philosophy": the new residential scheme was to harmonize with the surroundings, with no house exceeding 12 - 15 meters and optimum use made of greenery. 4 types of houses, each with street entrance, pedestrian area and provision for parking.
