In one of the few truly historical urban areas of Rotterdam 37 different single family dwellings have been realized. The human scale and intimate public spaces fabric in this development reflect the urban qualities of the historical urban tissue. In the new network of alleys and squares a new sense of urban collectivity can be established. The dwellings typically have 4 floors, with each a private entrance and roof terrace.
