We recently participated in a masterplan competition in Bree, Belgium. The project consisted of 63, three bedroom homes in a diverse masterplan.

The new residential environment must contribute to the development of a qualitative and active public space. The active use of that public space as an extension of it the living environment of the residents and encouraging walking and bicycles are included in the plan. The project must fit in nicely with the qualities in the area. The openness, light and air at the location are unique. Those qualities still offer added value to the living environment. In our plan we want to safeguard those qualities for the future residents and neighbours.

The proposal offers a residential environment with owner-occupied homes for one target group with a limited income with ample attention has been devoted to the development of qualitative and sustainable homes in a green living environment. In the extension of the district on the east side is a playground and small recreation area fits in nicely with the green ambition within the plan.
