Spijkerkwartie Terraced Houses / Atelier Kempe Thill

Towards high-density low-rise. This project is in its core a typological experiment: a maximum of individual homes with private gardens on a relatively small urban plot; a model for the development of more compact settlements with a density of approx. 40 houses per hectare. It aims to offer an alternative to living on the periphery of big cities for people who would like to live in a private house in a more urban context. The project tries to find answers to the typological challenges inherent to high-density low-rise developments:  How much individuality is possible? How much privacy is necessary? How much collective form is required? How much community and social interaction is desirable?
