Urban design and traffic

Urban design and waterways
For this competition we had to design  an urban plan with about 100 houses and apartments. The brief consist of 40 terrace houses for families, 40 park houses for senior people and we added 20 apartments. Other building in the area are a 'petanque' club, medical and social buildings.

The whole plan should be designed in a park layout with an ecological zone on the north side and a neighborhood recreation park on the south side. We decided to connect both areas with a green area with educational functions.
The park houses are designed in one layer as 'patio' houses with green roofs. Small roof extensions will be possible in the future. The central parking lots are covered with transparent PV systems. These systems are used as well in the east area to connect the different service buildings and to form a clear border to the sporting spaces on the east part of the area.
