Stadstuinen, Rotterdam

KRISTINN PÁLSSON

Stadstuinen area of Roterdam’s Kop van Zuid is a residential area that combines the suburban and urban lifestyle. It is mainly formed of an open urban block with mixed use housing and different styles of living. It has apartment building from about six to eight storeys high forming a wall around the area. They form a barrier for the noise of the street. Around each urban block unit there are many different housing types integrated together having a mix of private and public areas in the centre.

The project comprises 10 blocks containing approximately 600 dwellings, some 8.8 square kilometers of commercial space, a primary school, a variety of outdoor spaces and undercover parking.

KCAP designed four block of the area, all four corners. Other architects for the sight were Joke Vos and DKV.
