The design question

How can changes along a village street bring new homes while improving public space and respecting its existing character?

My contribution

Within the KuiperCompagnons team, I contributed to the area vision and spatial studies for Nieuwstraat. The work explores development opportunities and translates them into a street-wide framework, site studies and design principles.

The value

A shared framework connects individual housing initiatives to a greener, more coherent street, while leaving room for proposals to develop.
