Urban Ivy

The Klaprozenbuurt project transforms an intensively used business park into a vibrant mixed urban neighbourhood with space for living, working and community facilities. Klaprozenweg evolves from a purely functional arterial road into an attractive city street, with shops and workplaces in active plinths that support a pleasant and liveable residential climate. The first phase, Plot A1, home to Urban Ivy, is composed of a series of differentiated buildings that introduce human scale within a transformative high-density setting while allowing for future adaptability and disassembly. The block is conceived as an urban ensemble with varied heights that respond sensitively to the surrounding context Each building has its own width, entrance and vertical circulation, all directly connected to a collective green courtyard that forms the social heart of the block. This fine-grained structure strengthens orientation, identity and everyday interaction among residents.
