Local orientation
De Veldwachter has a relaxed, informal character. The buildings are loosely arranged, aligned with the railway, water, sports hall, and surrounding buildings. The colours from Schagen’s centre are reflected in De Veldwachter, allowing the new neighbourhood to blend naturally with its surroundings.

Understated Classic
The homes have a calm and refined presence, complementing the North Holland character of Schagen and its green surroundings. The architecture is understated, with each building differing in design yet sharing recognisable elements that create a cohesive identity. This is particularly evident from Zuiderweg, where the buildings each have their own distinct appearance through variations in form, fencing, and brickwork featuring reliefs, ornaments, and colours. The consistent classical rhythm of the façades is echoed throughout every structure.
