Within an urban framework of re-activation and transition, the industrial
area along the river Schie, situated to the south of the city of Delft,
is assigned to become a more liveable environment It will comprise
high quality public spaces, residential areas and mixed-use building
programme. Playing a pioneering role within this development scenario,
a private initiative forms the basis of this investigation on possible
building activities on a designated plot, adjacent to the Rotterdamseweg.
The major premise is to apply a modular building system, based on
pre-fabricated elements of limited size (3.5m x 8m), stackable up
to 10 storeys. The environmental aspect (traffic noise / industrial
activities) is a serious issue on this plot. All of the living areas
are connected to a winter garden façade, providing a comfortable indoor
climate and an additional living quality.
