NS21

An architectural design for a store and apartments.

Living in old & new

On Nieuwlandstraat in Tilburg stood a building whose historical façade had long been concealed.

Given that this street is filled with historic buildings, we decided to restore the old façade to its original state.

Mini-neighborhood

Only the entrance to the shop is located at the front. The residences are all accessed from the rear of the building.

In this way, we aim to bring life to the rear area, creating two distinct worlds: the shopping street at the front and the mini-neighborhood at the rear.

The design of the rear façade creates a ‘cascade,’ resulting in outdoor spaces much larger than those in an average apartment.
