Oranjerie in Leiden
12 appartments + 12 family houses
|
|
|
|
The Residents initiative "De Oranjerie" in Leiden has been developing their own sustainable project for over 10 years. After a period of research, excursions and many meetings with the city council the area Maredijk/ Aloëlaan was finally designated by the city council. |
|
The collaboration of the residents initiative, the housing association "Ons Doel" and the city council of Leiden resulted in a plan which was developed by BEAR Architects.
The reference of the plan is the courtyard. 12 family houses, appartments and 2 communal spaces were realised around a central shared area. |
| 
|
|
| The plan comprises many sustainable building measures such as larch wooden outer window frames, deal inner window frames, a high insulation value, PV cells in the roof tiles, a central vacuum cleaning system and the use of graywater for flushing toilets. |
 |
 |
| Really special about the project is the use of the metal roof with included photovoltaic solar energy system. This is a newly developed system and has never been used in Holland before. |
