INTERIOR DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
At the foot of the Roof Park in Rotterdam housing project has been realized. The development adds 5 building blocks with 118 single-family homes, 24 apartments and 2 commercial spaces to the Bospolder-Tussendijken district.
The Hudsons is located on the border of the Bospolder-Tussendijken district and the raw Merwe-Vierhavens harbour (M4H), which will be redeveloped in the coming years into an innovative living and working area. The plan is designed to harmonize with the mosaic of building volumes that are typical of the Bospolder-Tussendijken district. In the proposal, the development location was cut up into smaller entities that in scale, form and typology ensure a seamless transition to the existing building blocks, streets and squares in the neighbourhood.
‘The outer skin of the blocks is detailed in profiled brickwork that gradually becomes more open and changes colour from the neighbourhood to the park side’
The result is a highly integrated design with plenty of routes through to the neighbouring Roof Park. The five building blocks allow a variety of apartment types to be realized side by side without having an impact on the coherence of the urban plan. The design also ensures that the green character of the Roof Park can penetrate deeply into the neighbourhood.
