Porseleinen Hof Building / Orange Architects

Porseleinen Hof is situated in the westernmost extension of the Spoorzone area - also known as Nieuw Delft - and is considered one of the cornerstones of the development area. This cornerstone is formed by a height accent—the Porseleinen Toren—and a cluster of ground-access houses, collectively forming Porseleinen Hof. By designing both plots in close coordination with each other, a plan is created in which parking, shared car usage, collective rooftop gardens, and the housing program are optimally aligned, resulting in a pleasant and differentiated living environment in the center of Delft. "The sculptural appearance of the tower, clad in the white glazed ceramic material, ensures that the building appears differently from all sides in the streetscape"
