Rive Saint Jacques

2009, Roermond

Sculp­tu­res in the parkland surroundings between two rivers.

The Roer delta is a former industrial area between the rivers Maas and Roer, close to the centre of Roer­mond. Just outside this area, on the Voor­stad St. Jacob, there was a former laundry complex on the banks of the Roer. On this inspiring location we designed two urban villas, each with twelve apartments in the luxury segment. This was no stacked, countable collection of apartments but more resembled a sculpture. This image is reinforced by white stucco work. Thanks to their exceptional location and their unique view, these apartments were quickly sold in the building stage, despite the recession.
