Nature-inclusive living in a green oasis
Young architects and other spatial designers (up to 40 years old) are challenged to find innovative solutions for complex urban issues during the Europan architecture competition. The winning design by h3o architects for the 15th edition of Europan serves as inspiration for a residential building at the head of the iconic Dakpark: a meeting place where people, animals and plants come together. Intended to bring the greenery to the inside of the building for the residents, shielded from the hustle and bustle of the city. That is where nature-inclusive living really comes to life.
Kop Dakpark is located on one of the liveliest traffic junctions in Rotterdam. The residents do not have any noise pollution. The rocky facade acts as a buffer against ambient noise, with green gardens inside and on top. This allows residents to live comfortably and enjoy the peace and quiet in the green courtyard.
This demands a lot from the facade of the building. After an extensive facade study, Slokker Bouwgroep opted for Duplicor facade elements.
