LEVS selected with Rock: creative hotspot for neighbourhood & residents

26 June 2020

Levs stationsplein etten leur 2

For the second time, LEVS has been selected together with the developing contractor Hazenberg for a Design & Build assignment in Etten-Leur. Rock is located directly at the station square where it is an accent with seven floors high.

Different than outlined in the tender, the long volume has been cut open to create collective roof terraces and a green garden with a semi-public character where enterprising residents have their workspaces. The 75 social rental homes, workspaces and neighbourhood living room are designed for and with young people. Meeting instead of being on your own, sharing instead of owning; connecting is the central theme of the design. Just like in a neighbourhood, the houses are located at a square, an intimate street, around a lively urban garden or above the corner café with a view of the city. The climate-adaptive courtyard with the neighbourhood living room is the heart of the building.
