Tender Haarrijn

The plan forms the entrance to the new neighbourhood at Haarrijnseplas and combines contemporary architecture with sustainable and nature-inclusive solutions. Together with an interdisciplinary team consisting of LINQ, Architecture MAKEN, Studio BLAD and Ekowood Houses, LEVS developed this vision for the tender. The design integrates timber construction, bio-based materials and circular principles, while contributing to biodiversity and climate adaptation. With a focus on liveability and ecology, the design reflects a future-oriented vision of living, in which people, nature and environment come together in a harmonious and innovative whole.

Contemporary architecture with a natural connection

The architecture combines contemporary simplicity with a strong relationship to the landscape. Wooden volumes follow the orthogonal and diagonal lines of the original landscape, creating dynamic sightlines and connections. The stepped structure emphasises the entrance to Haarrijn and offers variation in scale and appearance. Green facades integrate nature into the architecture and provide cohesion and identity. Spacious floor plans and flexible layouts create an attractive living environment for various target groups, from starters to families and active senior citizens.

Innovative timber construction and circular principles

With a vapour-open timber frame system and CLT constructions, the plan offers sustainable and flexible housing. Bio-based insulation materials promote a healthy indoor climate and reduce the carbon footprint. Efficient use of materials, such as HSB for walls and roofs and CLT only where necessary, avoids waste. The adaptability of the houses and use of solar panels reinforce the project's circular ambitions. The result is a residential area that meets modern sustainability requirements while contributing to a more efficient use of natural resources.

Nature-inclusive and climate-adaptive design

The plan forms an ecosystem that focuses on biodiversity and climate adaptation. Green roofs and facades provide habitats for specific animal species. Native planting supports water buffering, temperature regulation and pollination. Vertical and horizontal green zones connect buildings and nature, enhance ecological value and offer residents a healthy living environment. This integral design combines aesthetics and functionality for a future-proof and biodiverse living environment.
