Pasgeld West

Pasgeld West · Rijswijk, Netherlands

The landscape becomes a basis for spatial choices and place identity. The quality framework carries that ambition forward as the design develops.

The design question

How can a new neighbourhood take its character from the landscape and ecological edge, while bringing housing, public space and movement into a coherent plan?

My contribution

My contribution connected the urban plan, integrated spatial design and quality framework. The work moved between the structure of the neighbourhood and the principles that guide its buildings and public spaces.

The value

The landscape becomes a basis for spatial choices and place identity. The quality framework carries that ambition forward as the design develops.

Developed within the KuiperCompagnons team. My contribution: urban plan, integrated design and quality framework.
