Green and blue in the heart of the city
The new residential neighbourhood forms a green link between Park Weezenland and the green structure of the canal. The buildings are scattered across a park-like public space with a variety of winding paths and small gardens. That same green structure also supports rainwater retention. The natural storage capacity of the ground layer is large enough to handle heavy rain showers and to gradually release water into the water system. The Almelo canal is the new neighbourhood’s natural border on the north side.

The key to success: underground parking
The Weezenlanden Noord district simultaneously feels like a residential area and a park. The connections between the houses consist not of roads but primarily of paths. This is made possible by the extensive underground parking structure.
