Generating High Density Residential Housing Apartments in the edge of City Den Haag Vliet/A4 Zone

The intervention is located on the 30000 m2 land bordered to the east side of the Vliet River and serves as a transaction to the future residential development in Prince Clausplein. This area surrounded from three sides by existing residential units connecting to the A4 highway and commercial zone in the east side. A Main public space structures the project. In this matter, public space weaves five unit wings together around the green park in the center. Street paths in the project express the relation between pedestrian, motorway, green and public facilities. However, parking lots are located in the ground level as well as behind each blocks to not obstacle the physical view. Main entrance to the site is on the west side where there is a high pressure of transportation and a 18m north-south Vlietweg street also make a connection to the west side of the river. The green roof of public amenities on the west side creates a green continuity to the river and makes a transition between inside and outside. This project reflects the idea of coexistence of uses and combination of different activities. The buildings present variable identity along the public space. Different Functions ranging from public to private create diversity while keeping the unity. In the north side blocks consists of houses business in the ground floor, offices in the first floor and residential units beginning from the third floor. The ground level is the public level, the area for social interact and urban connections. The first floor recovers the urban front through a continuous gallery of offices. The change in the organization of units begins from the 2nd floor to the upper ones announcing the change in the function. In contrast to the vertical organization of spaces in the north, blocks in the south are located separately to emphasize on the continuity of green spaces and their interaction to the main public space. Hereby, a coherent public space is created for different user groups. A diverse housing apartment; studio, one bedroom and two bedrooms housing have been made different building forms while creating an integrity within a coherent shape and offering appropriate privacy and view. Accessing to each apartment requires passing through certain level of privacy. These spaces can be ranged from public to private from central yard to the housing unit. Besides that, generated by scripting an algorithm, a mass of housing units creates an environment with a series of diverse outdoor terraces in each wings. These terraces depending on the architectural functions in each level can be divided into public, semi-public and private ones belonging to each apartment.
