Highest point at Scheepmakerskwartier

The hull is up and the construction has reached its highest point. Between the iconic dome of the former Haarlem prison and the Spaarne river, LEVS is working on a diverse residential area. The Scheepmakerskwartier is part of the protected cityscape along the river, and so the new design hon-ors the historic transition from intimate neighborhood on the inside to stately boulevard along the water. Our design features a town-like atmosphere with family homes and a small apartment build-ing, which transition smoothly into the waterfront row of proud canal houses. Overlooking the wa-ter, the canal houses present great variety in terms of their architecture and living typologies: they are all different, yet find each other in a self-evident coherence.
