This wooden complex serves as the focal point between the new residential area and the Goudse Hout recreation and nature area on the northeast outskirts of Gouda, adorned with a veil of sustainable wood.
The distinctive apartment building seamlessly blends into the beautiful surroundings with its natural appearance and use of sustainable materials.
The five-story building is structurally assembled horizontally, with floors acting as discs on columns, detached from the facade, and featuring a stabilizing core.
This structural approach allowed for the design of a free facade layout, giving the Urban Villa a contemporary character.
