300 houses (100 social housing-200 market oriented)
The area of Overvecht has been listed as one of the priority areas of urban improvement by the National government of The Netherlands. Overvecht was a typically optimistic development of the 60`s that did not adapt very well to the emerging new demands of the now mostly foreign population. The slabs and its openness are being put into scrutiny and in most cases (like our site) demolished. In our proposal we decided to incorporate some of the essences of the 60`s planning such as greenness and open public spaces shaped by open form blocks yet we made them in a much intimate and subtle manner. The monotonous scale of the slabs is exchanged for a variety of heights that increase the diversity of the living styles. Ground housing with a front-back garden has been also contested as we propose to use an underused urban typology of back to back houses with front and back gardens in both sides of the scheme. Finally we put forward the idea of a new street that divides the site in two increasing the domestic aspect of the development.
