Winner Panorama Lokaal

Waddenbuurt Commons has been selected as the winner of Panorama Lokaal for Haarlem Schalkwijk. The competition response developed with AP+E and Waag was aimed at generating new development strategies for post-war neighbourhoods in The Netherlands. By redeveloping most of the existing buildings slated for demolotion we open up spaces for entrepreneurship, family housing and community use. A new "Commons College” provides space for education and exchange, where residents can invest in their own neighbourhood. The public realm is strengthened by the introduction of green corridors that connect the neighbourhood to the surrounding countryside and provides safe place for communal gardening, exercise and play as well as increasing the habitat for local flora and fauna.
