The planning area to the Friesestraatweg has a specific karakter.Verschillende scales come here on a relatively small area together. It is an almost hidden place in the city of Groningen, at the junction of the Reitdiep, the railway Groningen Delfzijl and the old road to Friesland. The edges and spheres are very diverse: the slope of the track, the water, the existing buildings, vegetation and existing greenhouse determine the identity.

The six existing high-rise apartment buildings along the water forms in their scale and repeat a series of clear water. With a repeat of three striking transparent glass facades CUP will be sought connection. The glass radiates not only light but also reflects the environment, a constantly changing image under the influence of light and air. Smaller in scale but jointly stubborn and strong enough.

The three strips with attached row houses are more or less parallel to the railway. From the entrance of the area-the-Friesestraatweg they offer continuous sight lines to the water.Ook from the existing buildings of the estate is the Reitdiep part of the spatial structure. A walkway brings the field to the water and take in the plan a new route. The typological structure of the houses has 'the outside' a collective and semi-public character. A common place inde city. The roof terraces and kasruimten are its private counterpart.
