Tudorpark in Hoofddorp is a residential area consisting out of 1250 houses in a rustic setting and with an English character. Situated at the heart of the plan is the main access, the loop. The water, which is concentrated along the loop, provides a green and park-like atmosphere. The profile is varied: roads come together or split up. This changing profile creates a green strip between the roads. The loop is planted with different types of trees. These trees are selected by inflorescence, fall color and winter leaves. A rustic meadow is situated in the center along the water, include a pet farm, a big adventure playground for older children and a pavilion with café. The neighbourhood streets have a romantic atmosphere with turning roads, street trees in different colors and sizes and green squares. The squares have tree planting in specific colors and contain playgrounds for young children. For the architects, 9 rules have been established. These rules create unity in diversity.
