De Hofberg
In collaboration with JEP Vastgoed and Vink Bouw, Orange Architects designed an urban infill piece between the Insulindestraat and the Hofbogenpark. De Hofberg comprises a residential building with 28 urban townhouses that completes the Spoordriehoek, while an integrated public route creates a connection between the neighborhood and the park.
Conceptually, De Hofberg can be read as an intimate, landscaped sloping alley, flanked on both sides by buildings, that naturally bridges the level difference between Insulindestraat and Hofbogenpark. Shaping this artificial hill, leads to a clear programmatic separation between parking and living. Car-parking is accommodated within the hill, while the homes are situated on top of it.

Masterplan Rijnhaven Rotterdam
In, on, and around the Rijnhaven with its historic quays, industrial monuments and expansive city views a new urban area will be developed, putting Rotterdam further on the map as a 21st century metropolis. A wide esplanade with urban functions and special high-rise projects will soon be adjacent to a large-scale city park that adds a pleasant green quality to the harbor basin. This new urban park, located at the beginning of the Rijnhaven, will become an attractive public area with a permanent town beach and an educational ‘tidal park’. With its unique location, size, and special character, the Rijnhaven offers the opportunity to create a unique combination of city and park.
