Text description provided by the architects. This mixed-use, retail led project occupies a prominent location in the centre of the new masterplan for Eschmarke, a small town on the outskirts of Enschede. The project includes 27 dwellings, shops, a supermarket and space for 93 cars. The requirement to maintain a simple plan while balancing the needs for private and public elements on a small site is solved by placing the private parking above the shops in a communal court. The court is linked directly to the street by a broad slope that can be used by cars, cyclists, and pedestrians.
