New residential environment in Duiven well received by residents and municipality

LOOSvanVLIET was commissioned by BPD and KlaassenGroep to work on the urban development and visual quality plan for Plakse Weide, a new residential area on the east side of Duiven. About 300 homes will be built in Plakse Weide in the future. At least 70% of the homes will fall under the affordable housing category. Plakse Weide is divided into three green areas: a blue and green park zone as the outer edge with green car-free wedges perpendicular to it, opening onto a central park area. Historically, many different types of fruit occur in the region around Arnhem (also known as the Liemers). Fruit (-growing) has therefore been used as a design theme. It gives the neighbourhood its identity. Fruit not only colours the atmosphere in the outdoor space, but also returns as a theme in the architecture. Figuratively, for instance in the form of patterns as brickwork, but also literally in the form of fruit trees against the façade. 4-09-2023
