Social housing project Tabakspaadje by Heren 5 architecten - The Netherlands


    

Every time I remain surprised of the quality and finesse the Dutch put into developing housing. Even in this social housing project the Dutch have put a great effort in order to integrate this social project into the local society and find acceptance by the residents and neighbors.  The architects sought a way to integrate the new structure into the typical architecture of Laren, and therefore the new structure is characterized by local architectural features, such as a thatched roof and 'witgekeimde' bricks.
