Urban plan 'Agora' Kwintsheul (NL)
104 apartments and houses

The planning of this site is done by using the 'Maximum Environment Method'. This means that for every environmental issue like energy, traffic, water, landscape, soil, green, we looked for the maximum potential solution. by integration of this potential solutions we tried to find a optimum solution.

In the plan you can find the old structure of the landscape pattern, you will find the green structures that existed before, the water structure, a new water cleaning sytem, short pedestrian paths, concentrations of traffic and parking lots, a minimised infrastructure and a high potential of solar energy.
