Rijsenhout: shop window for innovation and recreation

The Rijsenhout area has fantastic potential to be a more self-sufficient society. In four fictitious locations, LOOSvanVLIET has responded to factors such as stimulating the local economy, how to deal with salination and other water management, innovative cultivation and technology in the field of food production, recreational reuse of outdated greenhouses and recreation and tourism. One of the four ideas is to transform the greenhouses into Tiny Farms. Breaks will be made in the greenhouse facade and in the roof. This will create outdoor spaces in the greenhouse volume. A Tiny house can then be slid under the remaining roof of the greenhouse. The skin of the greenhouse acts as a climate facade. This creates an accommodation with an outdoor garden, a winter garden and a greenhouse for urban agriculture. By equipping part of the roof of the Tiny house with PV cells and a solar boiler and connecting the toilet drain to a combi tank with a small helophyte filter, an energy-neutral recreational stay is created. Moreover, smart planning will create a kind of allotment community. This farm can also be used as a place of interest! 19-03-2018
