We participated in a tender in collaboration with Cedrus real estate. The client, housing association Woonmeij, was looking for a design for an apartment complex with 29 apartments and 4 ground-level homes. The apartments each had to have an area of ​​65 m² to 70 m², including a private outdoor area. The houses had to have an area of ​​115 m² each. 

Brabant conviviality
The plot is located in the Theereheide residential area in Sint-Michielsgestel. The design must therefore match the historic facade. However, there is room for a contemporary design at the rear and inside. Several principles were taken into account for the design. For example, Brabant conviviality, rental, open, safety, maintenance, contemporary and home are some of these principles. 

Plot
We have positioned the houses and the apartment complex on the plot as follows.
The apartment complex is positioned in an L shape on the left of the plot. This connects to the adjacent complex. The 4 houses are positioned on the right of the street. Behind this is a parking lot for both the houses and the apartments.

Apartments
The apartments are both social and mid-rental properties. The houses have an area of ​​65 or 70 m2. Within the complex, 5 types of homes have been designed, each with 2 bedrooms. There are also indoor storage rooms on the ground floor and a courtyard is created by the shape of the building. 

Friends homes
A split-level home was chosen for the ground-level homes. These are therefore suitable as friends homes. You should think of a shared house for working people in their 30s. Within this house there is a shared ground floor. However, each has its own "half floor" with bedroom and bathroom. The houses also have a garden at the rear.
