Energiepark, Blok C — Leiden
2022 -
4 houses
commissioned by Ontwikkelcombinatie Energiepark
Four almost identical family houses are located among greenery of the Energiepark in Leiden. The timber houses are clustered together in a square, witch each house being rotated 90 degrees. For the facade design, we have used a mix of dark wood and custom-made steel fins. The steel fins act as a scaffolding for climbing plants, which overtime will populate the facade. The lush greenery will not only give a tactile and pleasant character to the whole building, but also create a welcoming environment for small birds and insects, increasing the biodiversity of the whole area. The facade corresponds with the green landscape of the Energiepark, creating an impression that the building is a part of the park.
